Music ("Step to the Rear") by Elmer Bernstein
Lyrics by Paul Deitzel

Hey, Let's give a cheer,
Carolina is here,
The Fighting Gamecocks Lead the way.
Who gives a care,
If the going gets tough,
And when it is rough,
That's when the "Cocks" get going.
Hail to our colors of Garnet and Black,
In Carolina pride have we.
So, Go Gamecocks Go - FIGHT!
Drive for the goal - FIGHT!
USC will win today -

GO COCKS !!

So, let's give a cheer,
Carolina is here.
The Fighting Gamecocks All The Way!

NOTE: 
Former football coach and Athletic Director, Paul Deitzel chose to replace the original fight song with this melody, originally from the musical "How Now, Dow Jones" and wrote the lyrics above. (Original song lyrics were written by Carolyn Leigh.)
