Fight song
The current Missouri State University fight song was adopted in the 1960s. "The Scotsman" has been a university tradition for nearly 50 years, and is an important aspect of Missouri State athletic events, pep rallies and other gatherings. As the university's name has changed over the years, the tune and the words to the song have also evolved.
Lyrics
Uphold tradition, our school we hold so dear,
We will be loyal, throughout our college years,
FIGHT FOR VICTORY, while we stand up and cheer,
Let's hear it for the Bears:
B-E-A-R-S, BEARS!
M-I-S-S-O-U-R-I STATE!
