Sandy...
The fireworks are hailin' over Beaver tonight.
Forcin' a light...
Into all those weary faces left stranded
on this 4th of July.
Down in town the bars are full of ticket scalpers
So broke, so hammered, and so tired...
As the trial delays
And the blown replays
Have us wondering who conspired...
And the boys with the casinos
Get their news stories written
Like paying money to a whore
Chasing all dissenters out the door...
Oh Sandy,
The scoreboards are rising behind us...
This field was
Embraced in our memories forever.
Learn it tonight,
For we may never see it again...
Hey, Sandy, girl.....
Now, the cheaters...
They don't ever get busted
For tryin to slip a bag of cash some night...
And the boys from the NCAA,
Aw, Sandy, they're just not too bright.
So me, I just got tired of
Hangin' at these lousy games,
Watching bounce-passes and schemes...
Seeing the letters begging supporters...
Where they all promise that we're still "One Team..."
You know the racquetball courts in the south gym side?
I went on them last night and they kicked me out.
Yeah they sent me packing, babe..
Didn't they know I was very devout?
Oh, Sandy
These new scoreboards are rising behind us...
This field was
A part of our life forever.
A weekly reunion of Penn State's sons and daughters
I remember Sandy, girl...
Sandy,
The University I went to lost its desire for me.
You know they spoke to me last night,
They said they don't want my kinda culture here anymore.
It was the place you believed in, the kinda place
Where you'd take off work just to up and go...
The kids say last night in the bars
They were still guzzling jars
of Natty at the Phyrst don't you know.
'dja hear the cops finally busted Emmert and Freeh,
for telling fortunes better than they do...
For me the sucker's life's through, babe
You oughta quit this scene too...
Oh, Sandy
The scoreboards have risen beside us
These field lights
A carnival life forever.
Treat the people here right
And then you will have them forever....
Oh I mean it Sandy, girl....
