"Oh, give us pleasure in our lives today,
And let us not to think so far away.
As we strive so high to reach the sky,
And bless the spirit of Kaiser High.

Our Footsteps wash away from the golden sands.
As our dreams in life become our goals.
Remember always the Blue and Gold
All hail, hail, Kaiser High!
All hail, Kaiser High!"
