They Will Say You're Good ... And Then They Will Say Goodbye

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Play the game

play the ball

till your talent

is ten feet tall

Kick the ball

through the 

goal posts

They will cheer...

they will drink

to you they 

will toast

They will cheer

they will drink

and say 

you are 

the most

...

...

Play the game

play the ball

till your age 

is nothing small

Then they kick you

through the 

old posts

They will cheer

they will drink

someone new

is now the most

They will cheer

they will drink

but to them 

you are now toast

Paul Oliverio
