CROYDON HALL    

In the years as they go by,   

Strong and true will be the tie

Of the boys who brave the classrooms.     

Croydon Hall Alumni;      

 

They have given us the key

To success and loyalty,

So, we're marching on a road                                   

That’s paved with mighty victory.  

  

Chorus  

Dear Old Croydon,   

And her sons so brave and true,     

May her colors be forever riding high;      

With the silver and the red        

We will proudly march ahead,

We will shout her praises higher than the sky.

 

So let’s sing, boys,

For the school we love so well.

May its future be so glorious and long

That the world will surely tremble

When the people all assemble

And sing

Hail, all Hail for dear old Croydon Hall.

(repeat chorus)

If you are in need of your transcript, please call 732-615-2260 option #9 and speak with secretary Mary Ann Cooper. There is no fee.

CROYDON MARCHING SONG
Ye loyal sons of Croydon
Awake to greet the morn,
And let your happy voices rise
In joyful ringing song.
 
Chorus
O Croydon, O Croydon,
Long may her colors fly;
O Croydon Hall shall live for aye
Her name shall never die.
Then give a cheer for Croydon
And all we hold so dear;
Her precepts we shall always heed,
Her memory revere.
