Verse 1:

Dear Jack Yates, you stand before us, Beacon light for eager eyes. Ever beaming forth your watchword Goals ahead for those who try.

Chorus:

Ferocious Lion, chosen emblem, Courage and strength he still inspires, As we march along life's highway, With a faith that never tires. Now let us all in one acclaim. The story of Jack Yates Fame. We stand for service tried and true, Sterling worth and honor too, Our dear old Jack Yates High, Loyal we are to you.

Verse 2:

Add the gold to flaming crimson, Blend true love and honor all. Daring, doing, upward striving, Sons and daughters, heed life's call.
