Tell me why we love you so, Manning High.
Through the years we come and go, Manning High. 
Wand’ring through your spacious halls,
List’ning to your slightest call,
Hastening to you one and all, Manning High.
We would always linger here, Manning High.
With the friends we love so dear, Manning High.
But we must be hurrying on,
You are just a stepping-stone,
Higher learning just beyond, Manning High.
Time will come to say good-bye, Manning High
But our love will never die, Manning High.
Though we leave you with regret,
Friendships true and loved ones met,
In our hearts we’ll not forget, Manning High.
