Game Day

Mighty Ducks win the game Pass the ball perfect the play There's so much riding on your fame Men clad in armor win the day The crowds are grumbling they've all gone wild The stripes bad call has hardened your trial Yard by yard your penalties mass But you'll take the lead with a touchdown pass 86 yards with a kick return Your rival now should show concern We love your power your drive your speed The beer the bets the company Football Game day Phones be texting Tailgate fun scores projecting Simple fun that's life affecting It's more than manly testosterone That compels us to the game It's teamwork pride the thrill of the fight How the underdog pushed and overcame Sports and competition have always been a way of life Revealing the mighty but also the contrite Teaching lessons of brotherhood More victory together than alone we ever could So when we gather scream and shout Seemingly insane over a meaningless thing Remember this on Game Day proud When from the rest of life we simply check out Is it really so bad to drink too much With Oregon's O displayed Colored faces worshiping the Duck When they fumble we yell O F_ _ _ Be it victory or cruel defeat There's more to this than meets the eye It's about families, lovers and the best of friends Gathering to play to laugh and to cry Game Day for the Oregon Duck Of our team we're so damn proud As a fan have you made the cut Or resigned to just miss out
