Twas The Night Before the Big Game

Twas the night before the game, and all through the house,
every LSU fan was drunk as a louse...
The Tiger pennants were hung in the windows with care,
but all it did was make a bunch of drunk fools stare...

Bubba and Boudreaux were sprawled on the floor,
Looking like visions that would make your eyes sore...
Ma writing Wal Mart greetings and I with a tankard of ail,
had just settled down to read some junk mail...

When out on the porch, I heard a loud crash,
I watched in horror to see Ma jump up and make a mad dash...
Over to the front door she flew like a flash,
She slipped on the rug and busted her ass...

Reaching for the door knob while making a moaning sound,
The door busted open and plastered her crown...
With blood running down her face,
She cried out aloud, "You dumb idiots have got to get more space!"

My mouth dropped open and my eyes popped wide,
When I saw two purple faces I almost died!!!
What the hey do ya think you are this day doing,
They replied in a proud voice, "We're going LSUing"...

Dressed in purple pants and slick gold shirts,
They looked like something that would make a clown hurt...
We're going to watch the Ole Miss game,
Because it's one of those that ranks high in fame...

Carefully they gathered their chests full of beer,
and scampered out the door to a loud and boastful cheer...
Piling into the ' 71 purple Pontiac wagon,
They screeched off to the game like a fire breathing dragon...

It was shortly after 10 when they came back in,
Sad eyed and droopy with their tails tucked in...
The two looked down and pitifully sad,
It was obvious that LSU did really bad...

The game had been played and set in history,
From the outset to the finish the Rebs brought mystery,
For the Tigers got crushed like a soft spring flower,
And revenge was the Reb's right up to the witching hour.

It will be said as the years roll by,
That the Tigers came in boastful and high,
But by the end of the game and after LSU got royally beat,
All of the Tigers could do was scatter and retreat…

And it can be heard from the depths of Death Valley,
A Rebel Yell during a special Ole Miss rally,
It echoed loud and was quite clear,
that from the OM student body everyone could hear...

HODDY TODDY GOSH O MIGHTY WHO THE HELL ARE WE, HEY!!!
FLIM FLAM, BIM BAM OLE MISS BY DAMN!!!!
