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!"
