Jerry, George, and Kramer Against Woody, Cliff, and Norm

The Yankees got the best of the Babe Ruth trade,
And it lasted for 86 years,
But the Red Sox finally have repaid,
New York for some of those tears,

But the famous curse caused lots of hurt,
Cause all I used to hear,
Was the fans lament Bucky freaking Dent,
As they guzzled their Sam Adams beer,

It's a rivalry that runs deeper than a simple sports debate,
It's only a distance of 200 miles that seperates the hate,
It's several generations that kept it true to form,
It pits Jerry, George, and Kramer against Woody, Cliff, and Norm,

The Celtics tradition and history,
Is a source of Bostonian pride,
While the Big Apple brings up Bill Buckner,
As a way to hurt Boston inside,

It can make a young man older,
And it can make an old man young,
Like it made a young Pedro lay out old Don Zimmer,
Thinking the old man had swung,

It's a rivalry that runs deeper than a simple sports debate,
It's only a distance of 200 miles that seperates the hate,
It's several generations that kept it true to form,
It pits Jerry, George, and Kramer against Woody, Cliff, and Norm,

The Patriots road to perfection,
Started by beating the Jets,
While the Manhattan papers referred to,
A camera New York won't forget,

As New England continued their winning,
Beantown became more defiant,
And in a poetic twist that fate couldn't resist,
They ended up playing the Giants,

It's a rivalry that runs deeper than a simple sports debate,
It's only a distance of 200 miles that seperates the hate,
It's several generations that kept it true to form,
It pits Jerry, George, and Kramer against Woody, Cliff, and Norm ...

Thank Goodness For The Bruins

[C] Since the [Am] Red Sox broke the [Em] curse back [F] in 2004 [C],
It's [Am] hard to watch them [Em] win but it's [F] hard to just ignore [C],
That [Am] they're the greatest [Em] team [F] much to my chagrin [C],
And [F] odds are in 2008 they'll [G] probably win again,

Chorus

So thank [F] goodness for the [C] Bruins or I [G] couldn't watch the [C] news,
Cause I'd [F] hardly get to [C] see a team from [G] Boston ever [C] lose,
The [F] first thing that I [C] check is to [G] see how they are [Am] doing,
Even [F] though I don't watch hockey, Thank [G] Goodness for the [C] Bruins,

Since the [Am] Patriots won the [Em] tuck rule game [F] in 2002 [C],
That [Am] started up their [Em] dynasty that [F] no one can refute [C],
To [Am] top it off they [Em] somehow worked a [F] trade for Randy [C] Moss,
Now it's [F] doubtful that they're ever going to [G] have another loss,

Repeat Chorus

Since the [Am] Celtics got [Em] Garnett [F] earlier this [C] year,
[Am] Combined him with Ray [Em] Allen and "The [F] Truth" Paul [C] Pierce,
I [Am] fear that they are [Em] good and that [F] Danny Ainge is [C] starting,
To [F] return them to the glory they once [G] had in the Garden,

Repeat Chorus
