BOOZER BROWN*

There's a red light on the track for Boozer Brown, Boozer Brown;
There's a red light on the track for Boozer Brown;
There's a red light on the track,
'Twill be there when we come back;
There's a red light on the track for Boozer Brown.

CHORUS: As we go marching, and the band begins to play,
Hear the people shouting, "SMC is sure to win today";
Singing tra-li-a-li-a-li-a-li-a-li-a-li-ay;
Singing tra-li-a-li-a-li-a-li-ay;
Singing tra-li-a-li-ay, singing tra-li-a-liay;
Singing tra-li-a-li-a-li-a-li-ay.


* Boozer Brown is the name of SMC's annual 'Students vs. Alumni' homecoming football game. The contest is named for Bud (Boozer) Brown who helped SMC win its first inter-collegiate football title in 1930. Bud earned his nickname by hiding his liquor (which was illegal in those days) in an old telephone box.
