THE BUCKS WERE LOCKED IN BATTLE
IN THE FALL OF SEVENTY FOUR
THE WOLVERINES WOULD BE THE CHAMPS
IF THEY GOT ONE SCORE MORE
BUT
WHO WOULD WIN THE GAME THAT DAY
TO PLAY THE BOWL OF ROSE
SCHEMBECHLER BET HIS SEASON
ON MICHAEL LANTRY'S TOE
HIS TOE, HIS TOE, HE BET ON LANTRY'S TOE
WELL LANTRY WAS PURE EVIL
FOR HE HAD SOLD HIS SOUL
HE SOLD IT TO THE DEVIL
TO KICK SOME FIELD GOALS
HE STRODE INTO THE HORSESHOE
AS SECONDS TICKED AWAY
HE PLANNED TO BEAT THE BUCKEYES
DURING THE FINAL PLAY
LAST PLAY, LAST PLAY, UPON THE FINAL PLAY
THE SNAP IT CAME TO LANTRY
HE KICKED IT WAY UP HIGH
THE BALL FLEW PAST AN ANGEL
WHO SWIPED AS IT WENT BY
BY GRACE OF GOD, HE HIT IT
FOR HE WAS QUICK AND DEFT
THE BALL IT STARTED SPINNIN'
THEN SAILED TO THE LEFT
WIDE LEFT, WIDE LEFT, THE BALL IT WENT WIDE LEFT
THE DEVIL HE WAS ANGRY
THE ANGEL HAD HIM BEAT
THE WOLVERINES DEFEATED
SCHEMBECHLER STAMPED HIS FEET
MIKE LANTRY HE TRIED SUICIDE
BECAUSE HE FELT BEREFT
BUT WHEN HE TRIED TO SHOOT HIMSELF
THE BULLET SAILED LEFT
WIDE LEFT, WIDE LEFT, THE BULLET WENT WIDE LEFT
