We are the Wolverines (We didn't start the Fire)

Submitted by 247Hinsdale on

Ask and ye shall receive.  This takes a more historical view than Texagander's.  I will be interested to see what other people come up with.

 

We are the Wolverines

Yost’s point a minute, first Rose Bowl just win it

Harry Kipke, winged helmets, Bennie Oosterbaan

Little brown jug, Benny Friedman, Fritz Crisler’s Mad Magicians

Bob Chappuis, Gerald Ford, Heisman Tom Harmon

 

Eliot, Crazy legs, snow bowl, those who stay

AC, Johnny Wangler, Indiana Corso strangler

Butch Woolfolk, ten year war, White’s phantom rose bowl score

Beat the bucks, 14-4, Clemson player danger

 

Chorus

We are the wolverines

The leaders and the  best

And champions of the west

We are the wolverines

From Hoke to Yost

We have won the most

 

Jamie Morris, Mark Messner, Rob Lytle, Braylon Edwards

Vada Murray, Elvis Grbac, Tyrone Wheatley

Sam Sword, Marcus Ray, Jarrett Irons, Aaron Shea

Biakabatuka, Lamarr Woodley

 

Desmond’s touchdown dive, Heisman trophy comes alive

Golden boy cannot rally, 24-14 final tally

Glenn Steele, Mike Gillette, Ty Law, Rob Swett

Leroy Hoard, Mike Debord, Branch plants Morelli

 

We are the wolverines

The leaders and the  best

And champions of the west

We are the wolverines

From Hoke to Yost

We have won the most

 

Jon Runyan, Ian Gold, artificial turf is sold

Greg Skrepanak, Forcier’s comeback

Brady, Grady, Cato June, Schembechler  gone too soon

Denard’s got his shoes untied, Roundtree quiets the Irish side

 

97 gets its own verse, Woodson's Heisman is a first

Into thin Air, Title Share, Best of all, I was there

Ohio State sure was great, beating the team we love to hate

Michigan is number one, roses in the winter sun

 

We are the wolverines

The leaders and the  best

And champions of the west

We are the wolverines

From Hoke to Yost

We have won the most
