Lyrics to "The Texas Tornado"

 
Performed by Judy Garland in the film Pigskin Parade, 1936
Words by Sidney Mitchell, music by Lew Pollack, 1936
For more details, see the Movie Song page.


We're going east, our work has ceased,
We're all set for Yale to say the least!
We're out to win, so let's begin now!

We're from the west, we'll never rest,
Till we show the world our team's the best!
We'll sweep the land, we'll show 'em and how!

The Texas Tornado is coming your way so everybody step aside!
The Texas Tornado is funny that way, so everybody better hide!
This devastatin' gale is headed straight for Yale,
won't it be great to sail into town?
We'll overpour the foe, we'll knock 'em for a goal,
and then we'll score a touchdown!

There's no one in Texas who really suspects us
Coming home without that game!
The whole state of Texas sincerely expects us
getting in the hall of fame!
Yale's pigskin sack is a crackerjack
but we'll bring it home without fail!

The Texas Tornado is coming your way,
so everybody step aside, better hide, Yale!
