The Cardinal Song

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 5:10 PM
Filed Under: St. Louis Cardinals
It's been a long, tough week for Cardinal Nation.  I've written more than enough about the Pujols situation.  Perhaps you need something a little lighter.  Perhaps you need a laugh.  Hopefully you've thrown all the rotten produce.

After the underwhelming reaction to my last Christmas carol, I thought about not posting this one.  However, it's my blog and as long as there aren't nasty, venomous comments left, I can pretend that you at least liked it somewhat.

So, to the tune of "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)", I give you "The Cardinal Song."  Have a great weekend everyone!

Season's just about to end in fire 
Dave Freese swinging from his toes 
Ballpark carols being sung by a choir 
And folks dressed up in a shade of rose 

Everybody knows 
The game's live 'till the final out 
And his blast made things go all right 
Rangers fans, they went home in a pout 
Cards fans found it hard to sleep that night 

They knew that seven was on its way 
Never dreamed that they'd be able to see this day. 
And every mother's child let out a sigh 
Because this team never did know how to die 

And so I'm offering this simple phrase 
To fans from one to eighty-two 
Although it's been said many times many ways 
"We're the champions" to you. 

They knew that seven was on its way 
Never dreamed that they'd be able to see this day. 
And every mother's child let out a sigh 
Because this team never did know how to die 

And so I'm offering this simple phrase 
To fans from one to eighty-two 
Although it's been said many times many ways 
"We're the champions" to you.

I do not typically like Christmas music, but this is a tune I can get behind. I was actually hearing the song as I read it. Well, not actually, it was in my head, but I think you get the point.
