Let's Hear It
Let's hear it
for the team that never won.
The girls basketball stars so often unsung,
they rarely scored and fans would rarely come.
Still they played attempting to break the empty record
of never having won except in persistent dedication ledgers.
The boys got the cheerleaders and the well attended pep rallies loud
but the girls team ran and played without a cheering crowd.
The boys team was all harrah, close to the state championship to enter
down at the crowded Atlantic City convention center.
The team of girls went along, singing the high school song
Go Lions, Go;
the Lionettes were resilient and strong.
Today, after all the hullabaloo
faded memories celebrate fifty year out of school,
who remember all those escapades
can any of you say?
Let's hear it anyway,
cheers for the girls that played.
