TIGERS WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA

Tigers Went Down to Georgia
By: Karley Anne Ferguson

(Read to the Tune of Charlie Daniels' 'Devil Went Down to Georgia' for optimal results.)

VERSE 1

The Tigers went down to Georgia, they were looking for a win to seal,
Vict'ry on their minds and fried razorback rinds, time to be #1, for real.

When they came across the bulldogs, sniffin' butts...a rag-tag lot,
Les Miles laughed as he took the field and said "Boys, lemme tell y'all what:"
"I guess y'all might've noticed I coach WINNERS and a KICK-arse crew,
And if you want, I'll tone down the flaunt, and play like equals with you."

"Now y'all play alright football, son." Said Mark Richt out of cue,
"But screw the SEC, this is you and me, and I coach better than you."

Then Les said "I AM THE MAD HATTER and you can say that shite again,
'cause if you're game, you'll be screamin' my name when LSU takes this win."

CHORUS:

Mathieu get your combat gear and run that football hard,
'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and it's time to stomp the yard,
And if you're tough and Lee plays some we might just make our goal,
But if we lose, THE BCS TAKES OUR SOUL....

*Fiddle Intermission*

VERSE 2

A striped man took the field and flipped a quarter up, then low,
And Les Miles smiled that crooked grin and said "Let's start this show."

So our boys ran into battle, in a scene you'd never miss,
And the Tiger Fans boomed support to drown out Georgia's hiss.

When half-time came Richt shrieked at Miles: "I thought this was for fun!"
Les said "Man, we're a second-half team. The arse whooping's just begun!"

CHORUS:

And Reid said "Pass the football, run boys, run!"
Claiborne's having too much fun.
Kicker's kicking field goals, (Like 'Bama? NO!)
Running up the score 'cause Georgia is a foe.

VERSE 3

Georgia's looking wimpy, 'cause they know that they've been beat,
And Mark Richt takes his pride and lays it flat at Les Miles' feet.

Les says "Mark, y'all come on back, if you ever wanna play again,
I DONE TOLD YOU ONCE, YOU SON OF A BITCH, WE'RE THE BEST THAT'S EVER BEEN!"

CHORUS:

And the team sang "Gonna be Champs, run boys, run!"
Tonight Baton Rouge is having too much fun!
Kicker's kicking field goals, (Like 'Bama? NO!)
WE'RE GONNA WIN THE WHOLE THING, THOUGH!

I hope this isn't as hard to follow as it looks...just read it to the rhyme scheme of the song!
What does that smoking smiley mean? I'm admittedly new here, and I don't understand what you guys are trying to say.
For everyone who enjoyed "The Game", the first poem I wrote about the LSU v. Bama showdown on Saturday (posted on Facebook and also on TigerDroppings), please feel free to read and share this follow-up. I'd really like to get my name out there with my work, so if you share please cite me as the author.

THE MORNING AFTER

Miles is still the mad hatter,
The Badger still gives not a care,
The fans are still quite hungover,
Although that's nothing too rare.

Our fingernails bitten to skin now,
We'll resume our Sunday as planned,
Our boys are headed home smiling,
To the comfort of TigerLand.

We left Tuscaloosa in ruins,
Kirkpatrick and Maze feel the pain,
Reid stomped a mark in Alabama,
An irreversible LSU stain.

Alleman handled the pressure,
He even managed that smile,
And Mathieu snapped a neck or two,
But that penalty was quite worth while.

We came and we saw and we conquered,
All of the trash talk is done,
We played on your grass and we STILL kicked your arse,
HEY 'BAMA, WE'RE STILL NUMBER ONE!!!
