[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!
