Alma Mater	Listen (1MB)
Close beside Cuyahoga’s waters, Stream of amber hue, O’er old Buchtel Summit’s glory, Waves the gold and blue. Hail we Akron! Sound her praises, Speed them on the gale, Ever stand our Alma Mater, Akron hail, all hail!
The Akron Blue & Gold	Listen (716K)
We cheer the Akron Blue and Gold, We cheer as the colors unfold. We pledge anew, we’re all for you, As the team goes crashing through. Fight! Fight! We cheer the Akron warriors bold, For a fight that’s a sight to behold. So we stand up, and cheer and shout For the Akron Blue and Gold. Zzzip! Zip go the Zippers. Zzzip! Zip go the Zippers, Akron U, Gold and Blue, All for you, and the Zippers too! We cheer the Akron Blue and Gold, We cheer as the colors unfold. We pledge anew, we’re all for you, As the team goes crashing through. Fight! Fight! We cheer the Akron warriors bold, For a fight that’s a sight to behold. So we stand up, and cheer and shout For the Akron Blue and Gold.
