Leader:

Arise, arise warriors of Ann Arbor.
Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter!
Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered,
A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride now for ruin and the world's ending!

Death!  Death!  Death!

I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough!
We slip and slide as we fall in love,
And I just can't seem to get enough of (you)

We did a little wandering,
And found our way back home.

To sing for the Mighty Oak.

Our logo is a tree.
We're AFC Ann Arbor,
And we're gonna win the league!

Allez, allez, allez! *x4*

We used to have a Frenchman,
An English bloke or two,
A superstar from Kenya:
Who else is coming through?
A 15 year old phenom,
Canadian Olympic pride,
We're AFC Ann Arbor,
And our family's worldwide !

Allez, allez, allez! *x4*
