Punt It, Ryan!
Friday night in Columbus town Scarlet and gray,
we’re gatherin’ round Fourth and short,
crowd on its feet Then Ryan Day sends the punt team to
the street
Got a quarterback ready,
got a line six deep Got the whole damn stadium losin’ sleep
Three yards to go,
ball on the ground But Coach Day looks at the sideline and
backs it down He says,
“Play it safe, boys,
we’ll get ’em next time” While fifty thousand scream,
“Coach, cross that line!” You can hear that punt hit the night
like a drum
Another fourth-and-short and here he comes Punt it,
Ryan, punt it away
Fourth and inches, but he won't let ’em play No guts,
no glory, that's what they say But Ryan’s got a foot fetish
on fourth down day Punt it,
Ryan, send it downfield Got an offense that can score,
but he won't let ’em yield
Buckeye Nation's yellin', “What you afraid of?” Fourth and short — GO
FOR IT, RYAN DAY!
(Go for it!)
Saturday afternoon, horseshoe packed Defense on fire,
offense got the knack
Need one yard, maybe two at the most But here comes Ryan
with another punt post The band starts playin',
the crowd starts booing
Everybody knows exactly what he's doing He'll take fourth-and-one and turn it
into three Three yards of field position — that's his guarantee Punt
it, Ryan, punt it away
Fourth and inches, but he won't let ’em play No guts,
no glory, that's what they say But Ryan’s got a foot fetish
on fourth down day
Punt it, Ryan, send it downfield Got an offense that can score,
but he won't let ’em yield
Buckeye Nation's yellin', “What you afraid of?” Fourth and short — GO
FOR IT, RYAN DAY!
(Punt it, Ryan!)
Ohhh, Ryan, don't you know?
Sometimes you gotta let those Buckeyes go Put your faith in the
boys in scarlet and gray Quit kickin' that ball and GO FOR
IT ON FOURTH DOWN!
Punt it, Ryan, one more time
Fourth and one and you draw that line No guts,
no glory, we're beggin' you,
Day
Take off the headphones — GO FOR IT,
RYAN DAY!
Fourth and short... Here comes the punt...
(groan) Again. Oh,
Ryan Day... Where'd your guts go?
