Boost Kaukauna Boost Kaukauna!  Boost Kaukauna! Lion at the Fox,

    Help to swell the chorus till the very building rocks.

 

Boost Kaukauna! Our Kaukauna! Fairest in the state,

    Boost is our slogan; Boost will make us great.

 

Boost Kaukauna! Boost Kaukauna! Answer thou that call,

      It will lead thee on to duties that will aid us all.

 

Boost Kaukauna!  Our Kaukauna! Fight her battles right.

     Get in the spirit, Boost will win the fight.
