Lagumbay.com Reflections on Love, Rage, and Fear

Once upon the days of Neely
I woke with something in my head
I couldn’t escape the memory
Of the sports show and of what was said
When the sports show announcer made his parting remarks
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the image on the TV screen
‘Cause I was hoping that they were lies
Yeah, humorous but simply lies
And I lied too and said I don’t mind –
Ducks are sick and Disney’s blind
And when the Pond is opened, no fans will cheer
But Eisner lets us know when the Ducks are here
As you can see, they’re not for me
I think they’re bad for humanity

But you
Why you really want those Ducks around
Is it a surefire way to screw things up
‘Cause all it does is slow hockey down.

Shaken in their confidence
About a great many things
But I’ve seen them, they can see it coming
Like the nervous Selanne waiting on a wing
For a bad play during hockey night
But nobody thinks nor expects too much
Still, Hollywood’s calling for the D4 rights
Singing hey babe, let’s keep in touch
Hey baby, let’s keep in touch
But I want more than a touch, I want you to nail D
And knock them to the boards until they can’t see
So what they feel is just simply hell
And soon if we’re lucky all the Duck fans will yell
Your ass is mine, KILL NUMBER NINE
And it doesn’t have to rhyme so send your checking line

But you
Why you really want those Ducks around
Is it a surefire way to screw things up
‘Cause all it does is slow hockey down.

Tra la la bamba dear this is your pilot speaking
And I’ve got bad news for you
You see that Disney spews and you Duckies suck
And there ain’t a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure, the Panthers were swept and the Kings getting colder
Perhaps I’ve grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink it and always be full
Yeah I’ll drink it and always be full
Oh I like Coffey
But I hate Guy
But to be able to enter a final plea
I know they’ve got the playoffs that they cannot make
And Lord Stanley’s silverware that they cannot take

Well alright, okay
You think they can play
I hope and pray
You may be right someday

But you
Why you really want those Ducks around
Is it a surefire way to screw things up
‘Cause all it does is slow hockey down.

But you
Why you really want those Ducks around
Is it a surefire way to screw things up
‘Cause all it does is slow hockey down.
