Bless You Boys! Here’s one for you kids to sing on the way to the Dome next Sunday!

To the tune of Ballroom Blitz by Sweet
(Original lyrics – Chinn/Chapman)

Are you ready, Sean?
Aha.
Reggie?
Yeah!
Drew?
OK.
Alright, fellas…
LET’S GEAUX!

Oh, I been feeling so good,
Livin’ with the things you do to me,
Aha.
My dreams are getting so strange,
I see the Black and Gold in Mi-am-eee!
Mmm-hmm.

Oh, I see a man in Gold and Black
As a matter of fact, his eyes are as gold as the sun.
And Loki on the sideline is jumping on the white line
Because he’s dressed like a Saintsation!

Oh, yeah,
It was like lightning,
And the defense was frightening
And the offense was moving,
And the fans started grooving

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

And the man in Gold and Black
Said everyone attack and it turned into a N’awlins blitz!
And Loki on the sideline said
Brother, here’s a guideline, it’ll turn into a N’awlins blitz!
N’awlins blitz!
N’awlins blitz!
N’awlins blitz!
N’awlins blitz!

Oh, They’re reaching out for footballs,
Makin’ touchdown’s all they ever do.
Oh, they roughly run you over,
When they are done there’s nothing left of you.
Aha.
Now the man in Gold and Black
Is ready to crack as he raises the roof of the Dome.
And Loki on the sideline is giving you the high sign
He is sending the other team home!

Oh yeah, it was electric,
So frightfully hectic,
And the fans started roaring,
‘Cause the offense was scoring!

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

And the man in Gold and Black
Said everyone attack and it turned into a N’awlins blitz!
And Loki on the sideline said
Brother, here’s a guideline, it’ll turn into a N’awlins blitz!
N’awlins blitz!

Oh, yeah!
It was like lightning,
And the defense was frightening
And the offense was moving,
And they all started grooving

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

And the man in Gold and Black
Said everyone attack and it turned into a N’awlins blitz!
And Loki on the sideline said
Brother, here’s a guideline, it’ll turn into a N’awlins blitz!
N’awlins blitz!
N’awlins blitz!
N’awlins blitz!
N’awlins blitz!

It’s it’s a N’awlins blitz!
It’s it’s a N’awlins blitz!
It’s it’s a N’awlins blitz!
YEAH! It’s a N’awlins blitz,
