The Final Score

With a new day's dawn
I'll be grilling brats by my freshly cut lawn
getting ready for another win --
by the green and gold,
or the red and white -
ain't nothing left but the final score.

There's something exciting
about an Aaron Roger's sighting,
tossing the pigskin, running the ball
doing his all to prevent another Packer's stall.

I love my Wisconsin Badger football -
John Clay and JJ Watt giving their all,
not every year we make it whole
and favored to win the Rose Bowl.

My wife will tell you (as I drink a Wisconsin beer)
that I'm not always so clear
about who's winning or losing the game -
to her they're all the same.

But when the game is on the line,
there's nothing oh! so fine -
whether it's the green and gold,
or the red and white -
as the final score.
