Ode to the Bills
There once was a team off the shores of Lake Erie
Where opponents once feared as the weather was dreary
The road to the Super Bowl once came through this city
The wagons were circled and the girls dressed up pretty
Kelly, Smith, Thomas and Reed were frightening names that opponents dreaded
The diehard fans knew where the Bills were headed
A circuslike atmosphere was soon to be found
Where on every street corner a tent of souvenirs waited for a team to be crowned
Peddlers, vendors and ticket hawkers came from faraway lands
As thousands of hopeful followers filled up the stands
Banners of loyalist swung mightily all around
Where confetti of the festival merrymaking fell softly to the ground
The broadcasters and pundits went where they hated to go
There was no stopping Buffalo, they were going to the show
The team packed their bags headed for the big day
Helmets intact with nothing much to say as the nation saluted heroes in a land far away
Pre-game festivities included jets flying up high
As Bills fans laid their bets then wondering why
As we look back on our Super Bowl years
We have no regrets and we have long ago cried our tears
At the end of the day when we lay down on our beds
Visions of the Vince Lombardi Trophy still dance in our heads
