Alma Mater
Far beyond Manhattan’s clatter
Stands a hilltop crowned,
Where a Queen, our alma mater,
Overlooks the Sound.
CHORUS
Queensborough, Queensborough
We will always sing your praise
Come what may of joy or sorrow,
We’ll remember college days.
Born of city, state and borough
Proud to serve their need,
Building toward a bright tomorrow
For every race and creed.
CHORUS
Queeensborough, Queensborough
We will always sing your praises
Come what may of joy or sorrow,
We’ll remember college days.
Words by Dr. Roger B. Dooley
