O Fish! my Fish! our fearful season is done;
Us fans have weather’d every sack, the prize we sought is gone;
The draft is near, Eric Berry I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady deal, the Front Office grim and cheap
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of blue,
Where on the deck our Quarterback lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

O VINCE! my VINCE! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you cheers and toasts and excitement beckons—for you the stadium a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Vince! dear Vince!
These legs beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the field,
Your days of staying in the pocket have fallen cold and dead.


My Coach does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My Kerry does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
Coach Fisher is anchor’d safe and sound, his voyage closed and done;
From playoff failure, the victor tailor, comes in with object won for he has managed the impossible,fitting alge for a suit;
Exult, O tailgates, and fire, all fireworks!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Titans lie,
Fallen cold and dead.

Our Titans are a sorry bunch.
They make me want to barf my lunch.
Every day
In every way
I have to say
They Stink.
