The Football Song

      A                                                 E
We'll see you down at the football game, see you in the crowd.
A                                               B7                   E
We're gonna cheer our team this year till there ain't no cheering as loud.
       A                                                        D
And if someone down at the football game says, “Hey, why do you scream?"
                              A
They're gonna realize when we get the prize,
           E                      A     E                      A
We've been waking up the Grey Cup team, waking up the Grey Cup team.

[Chorus]
       D                          A
With a first down, second down, a first down again,
B7                                            E
Snap it to the quarterback and flip it to the wind.
A
Catch it on the 40-yard and never turn around,
         D             A            E          A
Then you rush into the end zone and get a touchdown.

[Verse 2]
              A                                                     E
Now when it's scrimmage time at the two-yard line we bulldoze in to score.
         A                                               B7                E
Then the kicker kicks and it's over the sticks, and it's six and one point more.
       A                                                                D
Then a two-point sack on their quarterback, and a field goal just to be mean.
                             A
Our screams and shouts don't leave any doubt,
           E                      A     E                      A
We've been waking up the Grey Cup team, waking up the Grey Cup team.

[Chorus]
       D                          A
With a first down, second down, a first down again,
B7                                            E
Snap it to the quarterback and flip it to the wind.
A
Catch it on the 40-yard and never turn around,
         D             A             E          A
Then you rush into the end and get another touchdown.

[Verse 3]
             A                                                            E
Now when the football shoots from the punter's boot their receiver can be sure,
   A                                        B7                         E
If he don't duck he's gonna get struck by a tank from the Second World War.
     A                                                                D
Then watch him fall down and fumble the ball and make a big turn-over scene.
                                         A
And the cheering fans will make him understand,
           E                      A     E                      A
We've been waking up the Grey Cup team, waking up the Grey Cup team.

[Chorus]
       D                          A
With a first down, second down, a first down again,
B7                                            E
Snap it to the quarterback and flip it to the wind.
A
Catch it on the 40-yard and never turn around,
         D             A             E          A
Then you rush into the end and get another touchdown.

[Verse 4]
         A                                                 E
So we'll see you down at the football game, see you in the crowd.
A                                               B7                   E
We're gonna cheer our team this year till there ain't no cheering as loud.
       A                                                        D
And if someone down at the football game says, “Hey, why do you scream?"
                              A
They're gonna realize when we get the big prize,
           E                      A     E                      A
We've been waking up the Grey Cup team, waking up the Grey Cup team.

[Chorus]
       D                          A
With a first down, second down, a first down again,
B7                                            E
Snap it to the quarterback and flip it to the wind.
A
Catch it on the 40-yard and never turn around,
         D             A             E          A
Then you rush into the end and get another touchdown.
