A Sun Devil Trident Song 

 

Original song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro

 

A relyric of “Little Old Wine Drinker Me” (#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6) by Hank Mills and Dick Jennings.

Yaa-hoo! Thanks to the good folks at Arizona State University for this autographed photo of the ASU mascot Sparky.

VERSE 1

 

They're playin',

 

a game,

 

In Arizona.

 

With a style,

 

And grace,

 

Op-po-nents,

 

Ag-o-nize.

 

And they're livin',

 

With a passion,

 

A scant few know.

 

That a Trident held,

 

By old Sparky,

 

Signifies.

 

 

 

Original Music Sample – Chorus 1

 

CHORUS

 

And now ya know,

 

Which way to go,

 

When ya,

 

Choose schools.

 

Cause in Tempe,

 

Student out-come,

 

Amplifies.

 

Un-derstand,

 

When out-side of,

 

Arizona.

 

Sing this,

 

And you'll,

 

Be on the,

 

Sun Devil side.

 

 

Original Music Sample – VERSE 2

VERSE 2

 

I dated

 

A girl

 

Who lived in Tuc-son.

 

Yeah, I drove down,

 

Cause her pasta,

 

Was un-real.

 

When word got to the Pres',

 

He took my Tri-dent.

 

Swore off I-tal-ian.

 

Got back my Tri-dent.

 

On ap-peal.

Here's the logo of the Trident Stills Company, photographed on the side of a still at Limestone Branch Distillery in Lebanon, Kentucky, down the road from Bardstown.

CHORUS

 

And now ya know,

 

Which way to go,

 

When ya,

 

Choose schools.

 

Cause in Tempe,

 

Student out-come,

 

Amplifies.

 

Un-derstand,

 

When out-side of,

 

Arizona.

 

Sing this,

 

And you'll,

 

Be on the,

 

Sun Devil side.

 

 

BRIDGE - optional, probably spoken verse

 

In high school they advised me,

 

That an East Coast university,

 

Inflates my success odds three-fold.

 

Compared to some, I'd pay more in one year.

 

Than four might cost, if staying here.

 

Learning under the best, while able to cheer,

 

Teams that proudly rock maroon and gold.

CLOSING CHORUS #2 - Very Optional

 

And now ya know,

 

Which way to go,

 

When ya,

 

Choose schools.

 

Cause in Tempe,

 

Talk of dope-ness,             [Note: From the Black Eyed Peas song]

 

Resonates.

 

Booyah!     [From the supporting cast]

 

When you find,

 

You're out-side of,

 

Arizona.

 

Sing this,

 

And you'll,

 

Trans-fer to the,

 

Sun Devil State.

CLOSING CHORUS #3 - Extremely Optional

 

And now ya know,

 

Which way to go,

 

When ya,

 

Choose schools.

 

Cause a dia-mond,

 

And coal lump are,

 

Allotropes.

 

Other grads,

 

From the state of,

 

Arizona,

 

Rock on.

 

But then,

 

They say that a,

 

Sun Devil's dope.

 

 

The End
