King's College Lagos School Song

Verse 1. 

Floreat Collegium shall our motto be

Let us shout it boldly for her sons are we

Nurtured in her classrooms in our early youth

Where we learn to cherish chivalry and truth

Learn to pull together each one with the rest

Playing up and striving each to do his best

Chorus

This shall be our watchword, always play the game

Sound the old school's praises, trumpet forth her fame

Though of many nations we will not forget

That we all are brothers with a common debt

Let us pay by giving as we forge ahead

Service to the living, honor to our dead

Verse 2.

This is what they teach us in the good old school

Only by obedience may you learn to rule

If you fail look closely, seek the reason why

You have power to conquer if you only try

Others went before you and attained the light

Where they wait to cheer you victors in the fight.

Chorus

This shall be our watchword, always play the game

Sound the old school's praises, trumpet forth her fame

Though of many nations we will not forget

That we all are brothers with a common debt

Let us pay by giving as we forge ahead

Service to the living, honor to our dead

Verse 3.

Present, past and future from one mighty whole

Shining forth emblazoned on a muster roll

When the call is sounded, all must answer "HERE"

Voice and bearing showing neither shame nor fear

Pointing to our honor, which untarnished stands

Bright as when we took it from our founder's hands.

Chorus

This shall be our watchword, always play the game

Sound the old school's praises, trumpet forth her fame

Though of many nations we will not forget

That we all are brothers with a common debt

Let us pay by giving as we forge ahead

Service to the living, honor to our dead
