When the Tigers went to Starkville their hopes were high
Although for the life of me i cant imagine why.
They won 2 games last year and took plenty of flack
And a lot of those guys-great scott-were back.
The line was 21 but Memphis was so flat
By the end of the quarter State had covered that.
The Tigers could do nothing on either side of the ball.
And it wasn't long before their hide had been nailed to the wall.
So i'm afraid this season wont be a whole lot of fun.
And Coach Porter may be saying what in the world have i done.
But Tiger fans in Memphis just can't wait
Hey, they have the best place around if they only tailgate.

It's gonna take more than a gentle nudge
For me to get over my Calipari grudge..
It doesn't take a genius to do the math
To see how he took us down the Primrose Path.
He is a cheat because it was at his behest
That someone else took Rose's college entrance test.
The NCAA found out and those pompous guys
Hit us hard,right between the eyes.
They sure didn't think it was very funny
They took away 38 wins and a ton of money.
They they up and did one thing more;
They kicked us out of the Final 4.
But Kentucky hired him anyway,they don't care
They cheated a long time before he got there.
So Coach Cal and Kentucky I think can say
Are now the Bonnie and Clyde of the NCAA.
As for me,I'll be a new creation
When the Wildcats are finally put on probation.
