It's Rarely Sunny In Philadelphia Part 2

They tied that losing record and then went out and won, in a blowout Can you believe it, they can't even get a record for losing And then they go on and now have lost three in a row, go figure. I did take the next day off from work and went downtown though It wasn't raining, but it certainly wasn't sunny I tried to eat my lunch at the Rocky statue But people kept taking my picture every time I tried to take a bit of my sandwich Then one guy said, "Hey!, move it! I looked up at the Rock, a pigeon looking back down from atop his head Gathering my lunch and picking up my umbrella I reached up and patted Rocky on the knee Saying, Hey Rock, do you think you can come back for one more fight, just one more In hearing the tourist saying to his wife, "maybe he's a crazy homeless man" I simply looked at him, tipped my Phillies cap and walked away And as I did this I heard that man say, "ah, the Phillies stink!"
