lyrics

Their flags are flown in the C-list cities
They like to fumble the ball
They are the Michael Jordans of not being
Like Michael Jordan at all

Give them one more chance, they might beat the odds
Please make a sacrifice to your angry gods
Here come the New York Mets! Here come the Phoenix Suns!
Here come the Mighty Underdogs!

There’s nothing like a Game 7 blowout
When you can’t process your grief
They got both hands in the jaws of victory
They always snatch a defeat
Right now laid-out on a blood-stained canvas
But you just gotta believe
They’re gonna break this curse, they’re gonna right this wrong
Like the Bills or the Browns on a 4th and long
The only super bowl they’ll win is Lucky Charms
Here come the Mighty Underdogs!

They’re howling,
They’re drooling
But they ain’t really executing
They’re howling,
They’re drooling
God, this season will be grueling
