Thread Name: Origin: The Eyes of Texas (Are upon You)
Subject: RE: The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You
As a former TCU Horned Frog Band member, I feel compelled to contribute these alternative words to "Texas Fight" that we (and other opponants) used to sing to it:

Texas bite, Texas bite,
Texas jump up and bite my *ss
Texas bite, Texas bite,
Texas jump up and bite my *ss
Texas bite, Texas bite,
Texas jump up and bite my *ss
B - I - T - E !
Texas jump up and bite my *ss

Okay, not the greatest lyrics, but we sang it with enthusiasm. And I have to say that the UT band members who had occasion to listen to us sing it under their stands one game (it was raining, and we wimpy woodwinds were letting the brass players handle things outside) found it amusing. "So THAT'S what you've been singing," they said. "Cute. But be careful, some folks might take offense." They took teasing much better than Aggies did, that's for sure!
