Orange You Glad I Graduated From Barry University

It was 1988 And things seemed great I walked off the stage With a degree at the right age There were changes abound As I entered life’s next round One happened a few years later When bowl games needed to get things straighter On New Year’s Day Night The Orange Bowl was colleges big time sight Granted on another network sugar was being splashed With this game that could springboard one to nice professional cash With a nice halftime show It was a nice way to let last year go But there was one network’s selfish greed That tarnished the gridiron holiday gift underneath the tree They wanted it all And stopped at nothing including putting the parent company’s store in the mall Due to this obsession Athletics saw nothing that would define the word recession. More bowls were put in place To allow every student athlete a chance to build their talented case But it was the Orange Bowl who had a foe Direct from Epcot France featuring the French Quarter drunken trance. New Orleans had the party the night before Hours in front of midnight when they showed the old year the door. Someone in a yellow jacket made the shift to compete with the King of Orange’s tropical gift Now the viewer needed to do a little remote control clickering To ease the family’s bickering. Today King Orange will stay out of the way Of New Years Day Instead they play a day before we say goodbye To the year that gave a good try. With a team from the VA that will need a good military strategy to find the winning way And another team from the north part of the state it should be a nice game that is worth the luring bait But it is that wonderful halftime production That has found itself through the years getting reduction They have tried everything Including getting celebrities to sing To combat this couple minutes of rest That makes the players ponder on how well they are doing on the gridiron final exam test. In closing good luck to the two teams As they deal with tropical greens Finding out what everything means While playing this game in their dreams.
