Lyrics adapted from song "Ol' Man River" by artist Paul Robeson from the album "Ol Man River" (1926-1938)
Best sung after drinking a six pack of Yuengling.
Ol' Man Joe Pa
There's a football team called the Nittany Lions
That's the only team I live to see
They're coach'd by Old Joe Paterno
He's been there for an eternity
Ol' man Joe Pa,
That ol' man Joe Pa
He must know sumpin'
But don't say nuthin',
He just keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along.
He don't do email,
He don't do textin',
An' he that sends'em
He'll not be gettin',
But ol' man Joe Pa,
He just keeps rollin' along.
You and me, we watch with doubt,
Can the old man pull this game out,
Run that draw!
Throw that screen!
Git a little drunk.
And we all just scream.
I get weary
An' sick of losein'
I'm tired of Galen
An' Jay Pa's screwin',
But ol' man Joe Pa,
He just keeps rolling' along.
Penn State Bloggers post on the internet
Bloggers rant when the blue and white play
Analyzing games all day and night
Getting' no rest till L.O.I . day
Payin' fees
to the N.L.C.,
That won't make
the Curley man see.
What State need's
a new H.C.,
For them to win
another N.C.
Take me to the Beav when I pass away
Put me with those that swell'd thy fame
Watching together till the end of time
Waiting for the Legend's final game
Ol' man Joe Pa,
That ol' man Joe Pa,
He must know sumpin'
But don't say nuthin'
He just keeps rollin'
He keeps on rollin' along.
Joe Paterno forever keeps rollin' on...
He don't do email,
He don't do textin',
An' he that sends'em
He'll not be gettin',
But ol' man Joe Pa,
He just keeps rollin'along.
Joe Paterno keeps hearing that song.
You an' me, we watch with doubt,
Can the old man pull this game out.
Run that draw!
Throw that screen!
Git a little drunk.
And we all just scream.
I get weary
An' sick of losein'
I'm tired of Galen
An' Jay Pa's screwin',
But ol' man Joe Pa,
He just keeps rolling' along!
