歌词

[00:04.85] Look at me now,
[00:10.29] Four years of college,
[00:12.51] Famous professors
[00:14.82] Tutoring me;
[00:16.64] Scholarship kid,
[00:18.66] Everything paid for,
[00:20.83] Food and vacations,
[00:23.00] All of it free.
[00:25.11] Day that I left,
[00:27.13] Everyone gathered,
[00:29.30] Their cheering still rings in my ears . . .
[00:33.13] Ray wreck rah!
[00:35.20] Rah wreck ray!
[00:37.27] Rah wreck!
[00:37.93] Wreck rah!
[00:38.88] Rah wreck wreck!
[00:39.84] W-e-c, r-e-k, r-e-q,
[00:45.88] Wreck, we love you!
[00:49.11] ‘Cause I could pass that football
[00:52.53] Like nothin’ you have ever seen!
[01:05.88] Couldn’t spell a lick,
[01:08.19] Couldn’t do arithmetic;
[01:10.66] One and one made three,
[01:12.69] Thought that dog was c-a-t,
[01:15.25] But I could pass that football
[01:18.38] Like nothin’ you have ever seen.
[01:23.90] Couldn’t write my name,
[01:25.73] Couldn’t translate ‘je vous aime’,
[01:28.45] Never learned to read
[01:30.27] Mother goose or andr’ Gide,
[01:32.93] But I could pass that football
[01:36.46] Like nothin’ you have ever seen.
[01:41.50] Couldn’t figure riddles,
[01:43.36] Puzzles made me pout:
[01:45.64] Where the hell was Moses when the lights went out’
[01:49.17] I couldn’t even tell red from green,
[01:52.55] Get those verbs through my bean,
[01:54.05] But I was buddies with the dean
[01:56.77] Like nothin’ you have ever seen.
[01:59.19] Passed without a fuss
[02:02.97] English lit and calculus.
[02:05.44] Never had to cram,
[02:07.40] Even passed the bar exam,
[02:10.19] Because I passed that football
[02:13.36] Like nothin’ you have ever seen.
[02:22.62] Couldn’t dance for beans,
[02:25.26] Mashed my girls to smithereens.
[02:27.64] Sometimes blood was spilled,
[02:29.91] Still my card was always filled,
[02:32.23] ‘Cause I could pass that football
[02:36.58] Like nothin’ you have ever seen.
[02:41.08] Then there was the week
[02:42.80] Albert Einstein came to speak:
[02:45.31] Relativity!
[02:47.02] Guess who introduced him’ Me!
[02:50.08] ‘Cause I could pass that football
[02:53.67] Like nothin’ you have ever seen.
[02:58.45] Had no table manners,
[03:00.42] Used ta dunk my roll,
[03:03.00] Always drunk the water from the fingerbowl.
[03:07.00] Though I would not get up for any she,
[03:09.65] The prexy’s mom -- age ninety-three --
[03:12.00] Got up and gave her seat to me,
[03:13.92] Like nothin’ you did ever see.
[03:18.25] In our hall of fame,
[03:20.38] There’s a statue with my name.
[03:23.00] There we stand, by heck,
[03:24.82] Lincoln, Washington and Wreck.
[03:27.90] ‘Cause I could pass that football
[03:31.53] Like nothin’ you have ever seen!
