Fazio: Rain, rain, go away
Placeholder Image

Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day.
Don't you know there is football to play? /
We want to go to Sharp to watch our stars play /
Come again some other day.

Rain, rain, go away, let us see a dazzling athletic display /
I've never seen an Eastside-Newton rivalry /
But I've heard the Rams and Eagles showdown is one to see /
It's even been ranked a top 10 by the AJC /
Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day.

Games in the rain and the slop may be entertaining /
But how can Kimani make his throws if it's raining? /
It's Antonious Sims' speed you'll be draining /
Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day.

It's the talent, not the weather we're coming to see /
We've been waiting for this for what seems like an eternity /
It's more than a game, it's a sense of community /
Rain, rain, go away come again some other day.

For the week, a hurricane has brought you here /
But you've come at a time held so dear /
Let us sit in the stands with skies that are clear /
Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day.

Football is here in just a day, let us have it our own way /
The runs, the catches, the tackles, the melee /
Let us watch it from a view better than the breezeway /
Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day.

A pristine first week is all we ask /
To keep our players on the field is the primary task /
Ankles are weak and injuries are something we don't bask /
Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day.

It's said that a wet wedding day is good luck /
In football, it just sets a season amuck /
Receivers have feet like a dancer, not a duck /
Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day.

To enjoy this yearly tradition is in our rights /
You can dampen many other nights /
Just leave alone this first under the Friday night lights /
Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day.
