"Ode to the Wreck of Stanfurd Rugby" 
              by Steve Whyte of BEAR TERRITORY

To the tune of  "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot

La la la la la la la la la la.
Stanfurd Ruggers of 2001
STANFURD RUGGERS of two thousand onnnnne.

We stand shoulder to shoulder.
We act as a team.
We may look like tough guys
But it's not as it seems.
If we think we might lose.
We're gonna flee.
Wouldn't want to get bruised
Or skin a knee.

(Chorus)
So put on your skirts, lads.
It's time to play ball.
Don’t pass it to me.
I'm afraid I might fall.
Don't want to get hurt.
And losing's no fun.
Stanfurd Ruggers of 2001
STANFURD RUGGERS of two thousand onnnnne.

We hope you're not mad
But we don't want to play.
We're resting at home.
It's better that way.
To hell with tradition.
We don't give a crap.
You might call us wussies
But we'll take that rap.

(Chorus)
So put on your skirts, lads.
It's time to play ball.
Don't pass it to me.
I'm afraid I might fall.
Don't want to get hurt
And losing's no fun.
STANFURD RUGGERS OF 2001
STANFURD RUGGERS of two thousand onnnnne.

Don't care about pride.
Our backbone's like jello.
They call us the Cardinal
But we're actually yellow.
When the going gets tough,
We won't even try
But we're willing to play Menlo Park High

Chorus

We'll lace up our shoes
Though we're filled with fear,
'Cause we've gotta start running
When our rival draws near.
And when the day's done,
Though we did not play.
We'll toast and we'll sing
As we sip chardonnay.

So put on your skirts, lads.
It's time to play ball.
Don't pass it to me.
I'm afraid I might fall.
Don't want to get hurt
And losing's no fun.
