It’s New Year’s Eve tonight, and like most Redskins fans, I’ll be partying 2012 out, and bringing in 2013 as a fan of the NFC East Division Champs.
Normally on this day, it’s traditional to sing Auld Lang Syne; but I thought given the landscape in Washington these days – maybe we should change the words a bit.
Here you go:
Should old Skins quarterbacks be forgot,
Well most of them, at least.
Should old Skins quarterbacks be forgot,
Because of R-G-3
CHORUS:
For R-G-3, my hogs,
for R-G-3,
we’ll sip from Lombardi’s cup again,
Thanks to R-G-3.
And surely you’ll buy yourself a beer,
and maybe one for me…
When we win a Super Bowl again,
Because of R-G-3
CHORUS
We fans have stood up well for years,
And waited patiently…
But we’ve wandered for bloody long enough,
Hoping for an R-G-3
CHORUS
We fans have battled losing seasons,
Supporting, despite defeat…
We finally see an ending to our pain,
And it’s R-G-3
CHORUS
I raise my glass to my brethren,
Now raise your glass to me,
Let’s make a toast to our beloved Skins,
And to R-G-3
For R-G-3, my hogs,
for R-G-3,
we’ll sip from Lombardi’s cup again,
SCREAM IT… R-G-3.
I’ll be singing it a 12:01 – top of my lungs – hope you will be too.
All hail the Washington Redskins – your 2012 NFC East Division Champs.
… at least.
