I am a Utah man, sir, and I live across the green.
Our gang, it is the jolliest that you have ever seen.
Our coeds are the fairest and each one's a shining star.
Our yell, you hear it ringing through the mountains near and far.
CHORUS
Who am I, sir? A Utah man am I A Utah man, sir, and will be till I die; Ki!Yi!
We're up to snuff; we never bluff,
We're game for any fuss,
No other gang of college men
dare meet us in the muss.
So fill your lungs and sing it out and
shout it to the sky,
We'll fight for dear old Crimson,
for a Utah man am I.
VERSE
And when we prom the avenue, all lined up in a row,
And arm in arm and step in time as down the street we go.
No matter if a freshman green, or in a senior's gown,
The people all admit we are the warmest gang in town.
CHORUS
VERSEWe may not live forever on this jolly good old sphere,
But while we do we'll live a life of merriment and cheer,
And when our college days are o'er and night is drawing nigh,
With parting breath we'll sing that song:
"A Utah Man Am I".
**We got an email from a member of our branch in NOLA this week. (He was actually the branch president after we left and is our lovely and hardworking accountant.) He sent the article written in the Times Picayune (the local paper) about the members of the team attending church services at our old branch.

Hey Lara,
Thanks for posting this. Fun to read. Mike and I watched the game last night. Totally fun!!
Well I've never heard that before!
Where did you find those verses? I loved the article. I would love to post it so my BYU friends can see that there really are mormons who go to the U that are active.
