We will remain to you forever faithful: So loyal and so trueg that is our pledge to you. And when we leave, we hope you will remember To keep a lovely memory of us being here. And when we part we will not say goodbyeg We will just say So-long, pal g To you, McKinley High. Lyrics by IRENE WILLIS Nine
