She has always proven worthy of the ever-coming throng.
Others praise the rose and lily, and to them is honor due
But we praise the stately palm tree and the dear old gold and blue.
We'll be loyal to her forever, tho the years may come and go,
And the cares of life o'er take us and the winds may storm and blow.
Then to Mainland High give praises, All ye sons and daughters too,
For there are no other colors like the dear old Gold and Blue.

We are from old Mainland High School, and to her we raise our songShe has always proven worthy of the ever-coming throng.
Others praise the rose and lily, and to them is honor due
But we praise the stately palm tree and the dear old gold and blue.
We'll be loyal to her forever, tho the years may come and go,
And the cares of life o'er take us and the winds may storm and blow.
Then to Mainland High give praises, All ye sons and daughters too,
For there are no other colors like the dear old Gold and Blue.
