Northmen cheer for victory
And fight with all your might;
Come on team
And show them how to win
This game tonight (rah)(rah)(rah)!
Come on big blue

We know you will carry us through.
Hail-Hail, the team's all here
For a victory for Oak Park High - FIGHT!

To you we will be true;

And praise the blue on blue

Loyal to you our praises rise;
Building minds of men forever,
Hail to Oak Park High.
