Football Sunday

Football here; Sunday drumm'ng 'n forthcom'ng Woe' the snap, the fans are humm'ng Bluff to the right, tail off, fade back Excitement in frenzy air - yak-i-tee-yak! Uh-uh, side step - whack, smack, sack! Wit roars 'n rah-rah sounds Bravo fans yell'ng 'n scream'ng like wolfhounds Da' ground rumbl'ng, wit' brave cavaliers With screech'ng hip-hip cheers in all nearby ears Missed field goal attempt...gone, it veers! Fall downs like missiles on the grid-iron bounds Among crash'ng ka bam ka boom sounds! In the grass 'n field you see: helmets on head, muscle forearms Pat on back, growl'ng, defiant glares, end-zone dance charms The tough, proud, brave competitors wit' crossed arms Yes, this is football 'n how it's played Whence the ball to throw, hustle past the goal In a battalion, forth they go in da' battlefield Us got protection. Us got a receiver - open downfield Hail Mary! Here we go, out on our shield
