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