The Cardinal School Song



(Sing), tune of Minnesota Rouser
Fayette High School,
Hats off to Thee!
We're all for you
Fight on to Victory.
Make a touchdown.
Run up the score.
Rough and tough and hard to bluff.
Fayette High School got the stuff.
Fight on for Fayette High.

(Cheer)
Go, Cardinals, Go!
Go, Cardinals, Go!
Hit 'em high.
Hit 'em low.
Go, Cardinals, Go!
(Repeat song.)
