Bernstein Leonard Wonderful Town Pass The Football Betty Comden and Adolph Green music by Leonard Bernstein 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! COULDNT SPELL A LICK, COULDNT 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. COULDNT WRITE MY NAME, COULDNT TRANSLATE JE VOUS AIME, NEVER LEARNED TO READ MOTHER GOOSE OR ANDR GIDE, BUT I COULD PASS THAT FOOTBALL LIKE NOTHIN YOU HAVE EVER SEEN. COULDNT FIGURE RIDDLES, PUZZLES MADE ME POUT: WHERE THE HELL WAS MOSES WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT? I COULDNT 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. COULDNT 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 PREXYS MOM -- AGE NINETY-THREE -- GOT UP AND GAVE HER SEAT TO ME, LIKE NOTHIN YOU DID EVER SEE. IN OUR HALL OF FAME, THERES 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! |
