I'm sure one of the band people here can answer this. It's one of the songs they play with the fight song and I think I know some of the words but never have pieced it all together.

I think the ending goes something like "...climp up on the victory wagon fight Iowa State fight fight!"

For "I", For "S", Forever
For Iowa State all the way.
Let's go! To show them what the gang's all here for,
Go!, to show them how the Cyclones cheer.

For "I", For "S", Forever,
For Iowa State do it right,
It's time, to climb on the vict'ry wagon
Fight, Iowa State, Fight Fight!

Edit: found page with full lyrics and song:
For I, For S

I'm not 100% sure if you guys realize you're talking about two different songs. There is "For I, For S", which is the one with the lyrics posted by superfan, and then there's "Go Cyclones Go", or for most of you, "Don't Know the Words"

Just for clarification.

Go Cyclones go in place of "don't know the words"

Or something like that, I don't know for sure

Much to the displeasure of Mrs. Geoffroy... in Accordance with prohpesy

As far as I knew, there actually weren't any words to Go Cylones Go (a.k.a. Don't know the words), except for towards the end of the song where it's

*duuuuuh* Go!
*duuuuuh* Go!
*duuuuuh* Go!
*bum* Go! Go! Go!

But, with a lack of words, people put stuff in place.
And might I suggest...

Don't know the words
Don't know the words
Don't know the words
and
I
don't
care!

Yes but his wife watches the students at vollyball games to make sure we don't say the words 'cause there is only like 3 or 4 people singing the words :wub:

(actually happened...)


Damn Political Correctness (in general, not just in this case)

Whoops, I mean I personally do not care for these new lyrics, but I understand how you find them offensive and will do my best to comply so that I don't hurt your feelings and warp your childrens fragile little minds :dull:

**** this ****, in accordance with prophesy

Years and years? It's been "I don't care!" since the late 60s, young one. My guess is that is longer than most of you have been alive.

Just because you and your drinking buddies found a place to drop an f-bomb, doesn't make it tradition. And "your" traditional version doesn't even fit, phonetically.

The f-bomb version is the "lame" one, if you ask me....
