The Saints Go Marching In

Two great teams take the field
In the end one must yield

Does destiny not await fate
Two quarterbacks who are great

As giants collide on the line
Receivers catch in perfect time

Backs with power and speed
Rise up to spread their seed

Although, once again in the end
Defense has a message to send

New Orleans can finally grin
As the, “Saints go marching in”

Even though one team had to lose
Every player filled champions shoes


What a game huh, "I reckon,
"who dat," proved who they are.
