Well, Terry thought it sounded foreign.  He stands corrected.  And of course you are free to think it is a dumb chant.  Thanks in no small part to the guys who made it up.

::)  I grew up on Navy bases so please spare me. The Navy does a lot of things right, a lot of things poorly, and I've never known Midshipmen to be expert at coming up with sports chants. Clearly it's a matter of personal taste, but I'll lay out the reason for my disdain: there is nothing clever about it, nothing fierce about it, nothing particularly musical about it, nothing unique about it. As noted there is a certain militaristic charm to it and the call and response aspect is kind of cool in a live setting.


I believe that we will win? That's kind of a bare minimum chant; if I fleshed it out the first verse could be I believe that we won't lose, the second verse I believe that we probably won't draw, the third verse in fact, I believe we might even win! Ugh.
