Crank It Up: Part II

Break out the Dolly Parton karaoke tapes:

Tumble off the couch
And stumble to the toilet
Liver so dry I need to re-oil it
Pour a shot and slam it down my throat

Turn on the tube
And the blood starts pumpin’
ESPN
And Sports Center jumpin’
With football talk of a team that’s 9 and Oh!

Saints are 9 and Oh!
What a way to start a season
We’re just rollin’ on
That’s the truth and I ain’t teasin’
You’ll just lose your mind
But you got to give them credit
It’s enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

9 and Oh!
Let’s show them some devotion
Saints keep winning games
And they cause a big commotion
Trying to move ahead
Week by week they try to drop us
I swear sometimes, I think no one can stop us
Mmmmm…

It ain’t no dream
And it cannot shatter
Each week’s a step
On the NFL ladder
We’ve got a season they’ll never take away

In the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waitin’ for the day
Your ship’ll come in
And the tide’s gonna turn
And the Saints will sail you away

Saints are 9 and Oh!
What a way to start a season
We’re just rollin’ on
That’s the truth and I ain’t teasin’
You’ll just lose your mind
But you got to give them credit
It’s enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

9 and Oh!
And the season’s just beginning
There are playoff games
That New Orleans plans on winning
And a Superbowl
You for sure won’t catch us nappin’
If we make it there
There’s no telling what could happen

Saints are 9 and Oh!
What a way to start a season
We’re just rollin’ on
That’s the truth and I ain’t teasin’
You’ll just lose your mind
But you got to give them credit
It’s enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

9 and Oh!
And the season’s just beginning
There are playoff games
That New Orleans plans on winning
And a Superbowl
You for sure won’t catch us nappin’
If we make it there
There’s no telling what could happen

Ain’t Life Grand!
