Western Mustangs Fight Song
Western, Western, Western U
College fair and square
Arts and Meds are strong for you
Deny it if you dare.
White and purple colours are
worn by all who know
Just which college is the best
Come and let us show.
That this U is our U and for her we'll strive to
Do our best to fight with might and mane.
We will always adore her
Our old Alma Mater
Western School of Fame.

When Western U goes marching down the field
We know our team will never ever yield
And though the other team has lots of pep
When they see our team they'll
Know they're out of step.
And when the game goes down in history
It's just another Western victory
Let all our cheers go out for
Western U, Western U
Rah, Rah, Raaaahh.

KINNANY, KINNANY, KANANNY, KANOO
High up, Sky up, Western U.
It's a HULLABA, HULLABA, HULLABALU
Rickity, Rickity, Rackity Roo
W - E - S - T - E - R - N
WESTERN! WESTERN! WESTERN!
