God rest ye merry Nebraskans,
Let nothing you dismay;
They say the football will be good
Come this New Year's Day.
Unless that is of course you know
We will lose anyway!
O we are a very strange breed,
Yes indeed;
O we are a very strange breed.

We get blizzards in June,
December brings us rain;
Other people think our state
All looks just the same.
We just ignore their benightedness
And discuss the Next Big Game.
O we are a very strange breed,
Yes indeed;
O we are a very strange breed.

We have our own dialect
Only we can understand.
So ask us to translate
When visiting our land.
Just say the Huskers will win
And you can join our merry band!
O we are a very strange breed,
Yes indeed;
O we are a very strange breed.
