The Original Don

Today black wears the fin For a man who knew how to win After Broadway Joe proved the AFL was tough By showing he looked good in panty hose and the buff Miami put on the heat Being very hard to beat Greasing up the mercury on the beach Super Bowl rings were in reach Conference was the American League’s new stage name Bringing entertaining fluff to the athletic game A colorful peacock style Captured and confirmed images for the football footage file Don Shula crossed the grid iron waters Into South Florida The original Don Waved his magical wand And the tourist paradise caught on With its oceanic feel AFC respect was sealed Mr. Shula we will miss you And won’t forget your input in the NFL merger issue
