The Blue, the Gold, the Blue

Whenever the Royalists take the field
You will always know
For the deafening cheer, the blue and the gold
Will set the ground aglow
When you watch the Royalists play
You will realize
Just what’s in their hearts and minds
You will see it in their eyes

      There is so more than just the game
      Which is not so hard to note
      It’s the way they play for the college
      In the true spirit of sport
      A length of history of great men
      Who have brought the fame
      Will be before them giving strength
      To play the ultimate game

            When they don the college jersey
            Striped with blue and gold
            Pride for one great college
            In their hearts they’ll hold
            They’ll play their best and play it clean
            As Royalists always do
            They’ll keep their College’s honour yet
            The Blue, The Gold, The Blue
