1. O my father sent me to Victoria
And resolved I do the best I can
And so I settled down in a quiet college town
On the Old Ontario Strand.

2. At first they used me rather roughly
As I the fearful gauntlet ran,
They tossed me all about, and they turned me inside out
On the Old Ontario Strand.

Chorus: On the Old Ontario Strand, my friends
Where Victoria ever more shall stand,
For has she not stood since the time of the flood
On the Old Ontario Strand

3. Now don't forget the theologians,
For they're the finest in the land,
And with a little leaven
They will send us all to heaven
On the Old Ontario Strand.

Chorus

4. Then sing aloud to Alma Mater
And keep the scarlet in the van
For with our colors high, Vic's name shall never die
On the Old Ontario Strand.

Chorus
