Buckle down, Eunice Caridnals, buckle down.
You can win, you Cardinals, if you buckle down.
If you break their necks, if you make them wrecks,
You can break the hex so buckle down.

Make 'em yell, you Cardinals, make 'em yell.
You can win, you Cardinals, if you ring the bell.
If you don't give in, take it on the chin,
You are bound to win, if you will only buckle down.

If you fight, you'll chuckle at defeat.
If you fight, your luck'll not retreat.
Knuckle down, you Cardinals, knuckle down.
You can win, you Cardinals, if you buckle down.
If you mow them down--If you go to town,
You can wear the crown if you only buckle down.
