Wonderful Town movie - Pass The Football lyrics
rate me<br>
LOOK AT ME NOW,<br>
FOUR YEARS OF COLLEGE,<br>
FAMOUS PROFESSORS<br>
TUTORING ME;<br>
<br>
SCHOLARSHIP KID,<br>
EVERYTHING PAID FOR,<br>
FOOD AND VACATIONS,<br>
ALL OF IT FREE.<br>
<br>
DAY THAT I LEFT,<br>
EVERYONE GATHERED,<br>
THEIR CHEERING STILL RINGS IN MY EARS . . .<br>
<br>
RAY WRECK RAH!<br>
RAH WRECK RAY!<br>
RAH WRECK!<br>
WRECK RAH!<br>
RAH WRECK WRECK!<br>
W-E-C, R-E-K, R-E-Q,<br>
WRECK, WE LOVE YOU!<br>
<br>
’CAUSE I COULD PASS THAT FOOTBALL<br>
LIKE NOTHIN’ YOU HAVE EVER SEEN!<br>
<br>
COULDN’T SPELL A LICK,<br>
COULDN’T DO ARITHMETIC;<br>
ONE AND ONE MADE THREE,<br>
THOUGHT THAT DOG WAS C-A-T,<br>
<br>
BUT I COULD PASS THAT FOOTBALL<br>
LIKE NOTHIN’ YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.<br>
<br>
COULDN’T WRITE MY NAME,<br>
COULDN’T TRANSLATE “JE VOUS AIME”,<br>
NEVER LEARNED TO READ<br>
MOTHER GOOSE OR ANDRÉ GIDE,<br>
<br>
BUT I COULD PASS THAT FOOTBALL<br>
LIKE NOTHIN’ YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.<br>
<br>
COULDN’T FIGURE RIDDLES,<br>
PUZZLES MADE ME POUT:<br>
<br>
WHERE THE HELL WAS MOSES WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT?<br>
I COULDN’T EVEN TELL RED FROM GREEN,<br>
GET THOSE VERBS THROUGH MY BEAN,<br>
BUT I WAS BUDDIES WITH THE DEAN<br>
LIKE NOTHIN’ YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.<br>
<br>
PASSED WITHOUT A FUSS<br>
ENGLISH LIT AND CALCULUS.<br>
NEVER HAD TO CRAM,<br>
EVEN PASSED THE BAR EXAM,<br>
<br>
BECAUSE I PASSED THAT FOOTBALL<br>
LIKE NOTHIN’ YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.<br>
<br>
COULDN’T DANCE FOR BEANS,<br>
MASHED MY GIRLS TO SMITHEREENS.<br>
SOMETIMES BLOOD WAS SPILLED,<br>
STILL MY CARD WAS ALWAYS FILLED,<br>
<br>
’CAUSE I COULD PASS THAT FOOTBALL<br>
LIKE NOTHIN’ YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.<br>
<br>
<br>
THEN THERE WAS THE WEEK<br>
ALBERT EINSTEIN CAME TO SPEAK:<br>
RELATIVITY!<br>
GUESS WHO INTRODUCED HIM? ME!<br>
<br>
’CAUSE I COULD PASS THAT FOOTBALL<br>
LIKE NOTHIN’ YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.<br>
<br>
HAD NO TABLE MANNERS,<br>
USED TA DUNK MY ROLL,<br>
ALWAYS DRUNK THE WATER FROM THE FINGERBOWL.<br>
THOUGH I WOULD NOT GET UP FOR ANY SHE,<br>
THE PREXY’S MOM -- AGE NINETY-THREE --<br>
GOT UP AND GAVE HER SEAT TO ME,<br>
LIKE NOTHIN’ YOU DID EVER SEE.<br>
<br>
IN OUR HALL OF FAME,<br>
THERE’S A STATUE WITH MY NAME.<br>
THERE WE STAND, BY HECK,<br>
LINCOLN, WASHINGTON AND WRECK.<br>
’CAUSE I COULD PASS THAT FOOTBALL<br>
LIKE NOTHIN’ YOU HAVE EVER SEEN!<br>
<br>
