"On to Victory" is the recognized fight song for the University of New Hampshire, typically played by the UNH Wildcat Marching Band and UNH Pep Band. Originally titled "The Line Up", it was written by Florence V. Cole, class of 1912. The most current version was arranged by Tom Keck, Director of Athletic Bands from 1998-2003. It is usually followed by "UNH Cheer." "New Hampshire Hymn" is the official fight song, but "On to Victory" is recognized due to its more traditional composition.

On To Victory
by: Humble PieAlright...
Well you tell me you want me
You say that you really care
Don't you tell me no lies
When you leave me, honey
You're gonna have a cross to bear
For there's two kinds of people I just can't stand
That's a lyin' woman or a beggin' man
Ain't nobody else gonna take my place
'Cause I'm just a fool for a pretty face
[CHORUS]
I been kicked, I been hit
But it didn't hurt a little bit
Kicked, pricked, no stick
Really got my finger pricked
I've been hurt by love, oh yeah,
Hurt by love
I've been hurt by love
I've been hurt by love
I'm just a fool for a pretty face, oh yeah
Well I don't have no reason
To think that you're mine
So why don't you keep your big mouth shut
Why don't you let your love light shine?
I don't wanna hurt ya
I ain't on your case
But you can
I'm just a fool for a pretty face, oh yeah
[repeat
Alright...
Listen now
You seem so oh-so sweet
But how about your after-taste?
I've been hurt by love so many times before
Because I'm a fool for a pretty face
[repeat CHORUS]
Hurt by love
I tell ya I've been hurt by love
Hurt by love
Hurt by love
I'm just a fool for a....
For a...
For a... pretty face
Hurt by love
Hurt by love
I'm just a fool for a pretty face
