I was listen to a guitar, bass drum thing

Started hearing chest screech, thought I had a gut strength

Then I saw a big band, right on the pavement

Violins and heavy boots, wondering where the wave went

You!

What?

I'm talking to you, Your wearing the wrong colored scarf

So what?

Well your playing your tune, to the Tarrence enemy Hauf

Hey you!

What?

I'm talking to you, Concentrate on the game

What for?

Well the whistle just blew, the conductors going to complain

Play the song, on the wall, come on pass me the ball

Don't let the violinist, trouble your playing

Fierce looking people ,but their managers gay

Syncopation to the sound of the ball

Trouble with the ref, on in the concert hall

Hey you!

What?

That cellist was found, that conductor must be blind

It's a girl!

Whew

Oh look at the crowd

This session has run into extra time

Sit back, face off the senior, doesn't walk alone

Music has arrived at the football stadium

A logical step would be spears at the Palladium

Fifty thousand watts screaming out for a goal

Why don't they blow a whistle in rock and roll

Hey you!

What?

Get back in your seat The song has just begun

So what?

We need two encores to beat, and the band is faced to run

Hey you!

What?

Get down off of the wire, the game is still strong

Say's who?

Well I'll never talk, Kicking my piano around

All you fans of the score, if you give a show of support

Will?

Win.
