Drake Alma Mater Lyrics

[Verse 1]
With broad and firm foundation,​
Our fathers built for Drake,​
With loyal veneration
Our way today we take,​
To honor high our Varsity
In all she strives to do,​
May fame and wealth attend her,​
Our dear old White and Blue.​
May fame and wealth attend her,​
Our dear old White and Blue.​

[Verse 2]
Thy loyal children ever,​
Throughout the nations wide,​
Will cease to bless thee never
For riches multiplied,​
In grateful adoration,​
Their love will bear anew,​
A full and rich oblation,​
Alma Mater true,​
A full and rich oblation,​
Dear Alma Matеr true.​

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
