North Woods Wiper Blades

My dear woodsman yon,
Crouched so low in the pillowy layers
Of the green antique Carpet.
With chiggers and gnats
Lapping your Lapland.

Why not with all your heart,
Be more woodsy still,
And brown the crust
of your secret dugout.
Instead of TP-ing the front porch
of the gray timberwolf.

Sunday Service

I go to a church in Wisconsin,
I go to a church in Wisconsin,
I go to a church in Wisconsin,
'Cause then there'll be booze to buy!

Local Losers

Click arrow to sing along!

Have you heard about the local losers,
beaten by the Underdog every time?
Have you heard about the local losers?
They're the losers but they still keep on trying.

Sit down, take a look at yourself.
Don't you want to be somebody?
Someday those teams are gonna take a ride.
And with Stanley's Cup, they were not denied!

Have you heard about the local losers?
Beaten by a top-ranked team any time.
Have you heard about the local losers?
They're the losers but they still keep on trying.

Unlucky at sports at least that's what they say.
They lose big games as their fans watch in sad dismay.
They still keep searching though there's nothing left.
Played the game and lost, now they have to face Jack Frost!

Have you heard about the local losers?
Beaten by some twisted odds every time.
Have you heard about the local losers?
They're the losers but they still keep on trying.

"It's okay," they smile and say.
But their losing ways are driving them crazy.
They don't show what goes on in their heads,
But if you watch very close you'll see it all.

Sit down, take a look at yourself.
Don't you want to be somebody?
Someday those teams are gonna take a ride.
To be champions, is a thing of pride.

Have you heard about the Minne-Losers?
Now tell me have you heard about the Minne-Losers?
