PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
This blog presents lyrics of historically Black Greek letter fraternity and sorority chants and songs for historical, cultural,and aesthetic purposes.
However, it's important to honor the tradition that these chants and songs are only performed by members of that specific fraternity or sorority.
The only other persons who are supposed to sing this song besides Sigmas are members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., their sister organization.

LYRICS - PHI BETA SIGMA GOT SOUL
When I was a young boy
My daddy said to me
He said "Listen me up my little my little child
A Sigma you're going to be."
And I said "Oh daddy, please revel your secrets to me".
And he said "Keep your heart and mind on Sigma
But keep your eyes on me."
And he said
"Oh, oh Phi Beta Sigma got soul"
Phi Beta Sigma got Soul.
Ah P-H-I Ah B-E-T-A Ah S-I-G-M-A.
Ah P-H-I Ah B-E-T-A Ah S-I-G-M-A.
Oh Phi Beta Sigma’s got Soul
Oh Phi Beta Sigma’s got Soul
Oh Phi Beta Sigma’s got Soul
Oh Phi Beta Sigma’s got Soul

Oh, I'm not Donald duck....if you didn't pledge Sigma, you aint worth a !@#$."*
