On the great big field
There was a scoreboard
And lights that shine
And a picture of
The mascot on the fifty-yard line.
And there was a host of big boys
And moms and dads
And six tired coaches
And their wives smiling with glee,
And little ones with wide eyes
And a ball and a dream
And a quiet announcer whispering “victory”.
Goodnight locker room
Goodnight field
Goodnight to our season.
Goodnight uniforms
Goodnight concession stand
Goodnight bleachers
And goodnight cheering fans.
Goodnight helmets
Goodnight shoulder pads
Goodnight grass
And goodnight flags.
Goodnight field house
And goodnight film.
Goodnight buses
And goodnight band.
Goodnight cheerleaders
Goodnight dancers
And goodnight to the announcer whispering “victory”.
Goodnight players
Goodnight coaches
And goodnight football, until next season.
