Chicago Bears Fight Song
(Please turn up your speakers to enjoy the streaming music!)

The Chicago Bears fight song, Bear Down, Chicago Bears, was introduced in 1941. Though Jerry Downs is listed as the composer, it actually is a pseudonym for Al Hoffman (who also wrote the words and music for the song If I knew You Were Coming, I'd Have Baked a Cake).

BEAR DOWN, CHICAGO BEARS

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 Illinois,
Chicago Bears, Bear Down!!

Huge, gigantic thanks to Rich Temple for taking the time to obtain the sheet music and record this rendition of Bear Down!

If you're a musician, and would like to record YOUR version, we'd love to host it also! Email it to us!

Sorry, we don't have the sheet music, so you'll have to play by ear! ;)
