There was point in Penn's history where it was considering jumping from Quakers, to Penguins ("Penn-go-win..").
In 1928 Dave Zoob (who wrote Fight On Pennsylvania) and university recorder George Nitzche published a new mascot song call "Penn-go-in - University of Pennsylvania Band March and Mascot Song." Ultimately the attempt failed miserably and the song renamed "Dear Old Penn."
We still have the song in the band library if push comes to shove...
