The lyrics to the Bears fight song: 
 "Bear Down, Chicago Bears" by Al Hoffman 
Bear Down, Chicago Bears!  Make every play clear the way to victory!
Bear Down, Chicago Bears! Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly!
We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation, With your T formation.
Bear Down, Chicago Bears! And let them know why you're wearing the crown.
You're the pride and joy, Of all Illinois. Chicago Bears, bear down!
Lyrics to the "Super Bowl Shuffle"
