B&G FBS song letter

Post by Caribbean Hen »

A fictitious letter written through the eyes of blue and gold fans everywhere relentlessly politicking UD officials for a move up to FBS

Read to the tune of the Beatles
“Paperback Writer”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paperback_Writer

kids if you’re not familiar with this song, YouTube it up, as this works much better if you know the song … and besides, even though it’s almost 60 years old, it’s simplistically brilliant and younger than Blue & Gold

Wont you read my letter
it could make you smile
Really Misses Rawak
We just wanna be in style

Got a manicure
so I must confess
Know I’ll be Sporting my Sunday best

But in the trailer park
known as FCS
The new coastal conference
is a stinky messssss

Letter head Writer (background vocals are challenging)
Letter head Writer………….

I heard you really like it
you know I’m always right
I’ll even drive you back from Ohio
on a Tuesday night

FBS
is what we really want
Even sent a letter out to Pete DuPont
Assanis and the Big Guy too
Don’t you laugh now
might send one to Uuuuuuuuuuu

Letterhead, writer, letterhead writer

"The way the song itself is shaped and the slow, contrapuntal statements from the backing voices – no one had really done that before."[21] In their backing vocals over the third verse, Lennon and Harrison sing the title of the French nursery rhyme "Frère Jacques".[22]

Took a look at the schedule
and what do you see
So many places I would rather be
Miss Chrissy just so you know
The Coastal conference
is not for meeeeeeeeee

They asked me if I was going up to Stony Brook
Last place you’ll see me
is on the bus with Mister Crook
If that bus was routed up to Buffalo
You’d be lookin at an overflow

If you’re ever down by North Carolina A&T
take a good look around
but you won’t see me

Traded Colonial Williamsburg
For the Hampton Inn
dont you tell me it was about
a guaranteed winnnnnnnnn

Why is it now
anyone mentions FBS
You duck and hide
can only take a wild guess

What’s on your mind?
What’s the long-term plan?
Are we gonna have to ask
You Dee Daaaaaannnnn

Fade out
recruiting recruiting recruiting...It ain't rocket science....We need better more athletic players...That simple....

Thank you 81

I was actually thinking of you (not like that) and UMass but Buffalo worked better with a rhyme word for a overflow filled bus heading to trendy FBS game
