From he peerless land of Jayhawk.
From the barren plains of wheat stalk,
From the home of snakes and onions

And his grandson ''F>ulla Dope

Gallant gang of bloomin' blighters,
Came to get the Huskers' goat

Laid ont Huskers. ten twenty

And because their line was bigger,
Paleface warriors won the game.
