THE PATRIOTS GAME
Lyrics
Come all ye young fanboys, and list while I sing,
For the ‘heads’ say our by week is the luckiest ting.
We whipped up on Tampa, much to Cousin’s acclaim
And that’ll lead us to vict’ry at the the Patriots game.
That t’ree and 4 record isn’t shabby, (although
The Super Bowl champions come in seven and 0)
But we expect to be winners, New England be tamed,
Because of the by-week before the Patriots game.
We all t’ought the Cowboys were a lock for first place
With all of their injured, we’re back in the race
I wish they would play us while Romo is lame
Instead of Tom Brady, in the Patriots game.
This ball club of ours is a bit undermanned;
As it’s been, near two decades, under Snyder’s command.
But in spite of this by week we’ll feel nothing but shame,
If we lay an egg on the Patriots game.
And then, if we lose there, our high hopes all gone
We’ll forget about by week, all the yak that it spawned
“The Pats aren’t the Buccos,” you’ll hear them exclaim.
“You just got too hyped up ‘bout the Patriots game.”

ANDY POLLEY COMMISSIONED ME IN AUGUST 1994 [THE APEX OF MY . . . NOTORIETY] TO BE A PART OF THE WARM-UP SHOW BEFORE REDSKINS GAMES STARTING IN THE PRESEASON. THE THIRD PRESEASON GAME, AUGUST 18, 1994, WAS THE PATRIOTS GAME, BUT AFTER THE KANSAS CITY GAME MY SLOT OF PREGAME WAS . . . UHHHH, TERMINATED AND I NEVER FINISHED IT. NOW TWENTY ONE YEARS LATER THANK YOU JERRY FOR GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST.
OTHERWISE THIS BIT HAS A SHELF LIFE OF PRECISELY ONE WEEK (FOR THE TWELVE PEOPLE WHO RECOGNIZE THE SONG)
