Whether in religion, business or play,

Then, you, Sell your Hammer and buy a Horn"
Praise home products and buy of the home crowd,
Fair Summit City," of thee we are proud
Here is the place where good boosters born,
So down with the Hammer, Up with the Horn
We want good roads and the very best town;
We want fine business for the whole year round;
The best prices for wheat oil, cotton and
Hate the bad Hammer, but love the good Horn.
The crouch knocks city, banks, churches schools

We aim to make Ardmore the very best;
With us agreeing, say all the rest.
CO." cries the Knocker, my sins must be borne
All hear is that pestferous Horn"
All hail. the spirit of the "A A. A."
Born to put Ardmore the big Highway!
Grouchy old Knocker, we leave you forlorn,
And keep blowing victorious Horn.
The faithless Knocker will be long dead;
Just judgment on him is even now said
In the brighter dawn of that coming morn,
He will sleep on, mid blasts of our Horn.
If you want to stand in with the auto crowd,
Help to make the glad noise both long and loud,
There is just way, sure as you are born,
sell your old Hammer and Buy New Horn"
If you are a friend of good Ardmore town.
Let love truth, Justice her temples adorn
Then all hands blow with the big Booster Horn.
