THE DAY TAB RAMOS SIGNED
(To the tune of "American Pie")

A long long time ago I can still remember how the Cosmos used to play But some billionaire's saw their chance Knew they could make us supporters dance And maybe we'd be happy for awhile
Charlie's mustache seemed to quiver With every foreigner he delivered Bad news on the doorstep Lothar wants one more cap
I can't remember if I sighed When I saw Lothar's teenage bride But something hurt me deep inside The day Tab Ramos signed
Did you dial the call-in show Did you complain on the radio And have the DJ tell you where to go Do you believe what Subotnick said It's not the same crap all over again When Vega was too fat and real slow
We all knew Sunil was in love with him But not with Kerry Zavagnin The match kicked off to boos Man, I dug Sasa's tatoos
There was a lonely fan in the upper deck Hiding his face with a paper sack Because he knew he was out of luck The day Tab Ramos signed
He started singin' {Refrain} Bye, bye Nansha Kalonji Drove my Chevy over Leahy And Leahy just died Them borough boys were dissin' Foudy and Ty Singing this will be the day that I die
For ten year's we'd been on our own Til the Metros came to Hoffa's home When El Ferry played in New Jersey In a kit he borrowed from Pele And moves that stunned you & me
Oh, and while the Kluge was looking down Donadoni snuck out of town Metros supporters were spurned While its players got carpet burns Do you recall who was the narc When the quartet practiced in the park And we drank Guinness in the dark The day Tab Ramos signed
We were singing {Refrain}
What the hell's this silly crap Some lawyers call the "Super Draft" Sasa's high and rollin' fast Oh, Tanque's shot landed in the stands The Galaxy ventured a forward pass But Palacios put Cobi in a cast
The halftime restrooms need more ventilation No toilet paper's an aggravation We all queued up to piss And the floor was wet cause some guy missed When the players tried to take the field The cheerleaders refused to yield Who won the Supporter's Shield? The day Tab Ramos signed
We started singing {Refrain}
There were forwards with no pace And midfielders with no sense of space With no time left to start again Lexi be nimble, Lexi be quick Meola ate all my sausage sticks While Branco took some savage kicks
And as I watched Diaz-Arce on the tube I screamed in rage, "We were screwed!" No angel born in hell Could break Stillitano's spell And as the score reached 0-8 I saw Satan laughing with delight The day Tab Ramos signed
He was singing {Refrain}
I met an Ultra who hurled abuse And I asked him for some allocation news He just slurred and stumbled away I went down to the Jersey shore Where I'd seen footy played before But security said the drummers couldn't play
And in the stands the children screamed While supporters cried, and their parents dreamed But not a word was spoken Young Americans were just tokens And the three players I admire most Ezra, Roy and Gio's ghost They got traded by the dolts The day Tab Ramos signed
And they were singing {Refrain}
