Two by two with arms locked
Firm and tight;
Our leader signals with hat in hand As we go marching on
Singing Delta Kappa Epsilon.

Whose children are gay and free. We'll sing to Phi,
And then we'll sing to
Dear old Delta Kappa Epsilon

As arm in arm
We march and sing aloud,
We'll sing in honor of the tie that Binds our hearts in one,
Dear old Delta Kappa Epsilon.

Our torches flash
In ev'ry lady's eye.
Our trembling victims await our call As we go marching on,
