Written in 1919 by Wilfred P. Maddux and Matthew Eppes, this is Virginia Tech’s most popular fight song, and became popular when it was composed, and still is today.
Today, this song is widely played for Hokie athletics. However, now the second verse is rarely played or sung.
Timestamps:
Verse 1 + Chorus - 0:16
Verse 2 + Chorus - 1:10
Now, with that being said, I hope you enjoy this video -
And here is every Hokies’ favorite song!
Let’s Go! Hokies!
LYRICS
VERSE 1:
Techmen, we're Techmen, with spirit true and faithful,
Backing up our teams with hopes undying;
Techmen, Oh, Techmen, we're out to win today,
Showing pep and life with which we're trying;
V.P., old V.P., you know our hearts are with you
In our luck which never seems to die;
Win or lose, we'll greet you with a glad returning,
You're the pride of V.P.I.
CHORUS:
Just watch our men so big and active
Support the Orange and Maroon. Let's go Techs.
We know our ends and backs are stronger,
With winning hopes, we fear defeat no longer.
To see our team plow through the line, boys.
Determined now to win or die:
So give a Hokie, Hokie, Hokie, Hi,
Rae, Ri, old V.P.I.
VERSE 2:
Fight, men, oh, fight, men, we're going to be the champions
Adding to our list another victory;
Football or baseball, the games in which we star,
They're the sports which made old VP famous.
Hold'em, just hold'em, you know the Corps' behind you
Watching every movement that you make.
Winning games was nothing for our teams before you --
Keep the "rep" for VP's sake.
[CHORUS]
