The legend lives on from the 7 on down
Of the big lake they call washington
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of October turn gloomy
With a load of five stars more maybe 85 rostered or more
The Sark teams looked loaded
That Joeys Crue was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of Octobers came early
The Trojans was the pride of the So Cal side
Coming back from some
As the big freighters go, it was more talented than most
With a crew and coach a late night veteran
Concluding some terms with a couple of cupcakes
When they left fully loaded for Arizona
Then later that night when the ship's bell rang
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
When the 2nd quarter broke
And every man knew, as 7 did too
'Twas the witch of October come stealin'
The dawn came late and the bowl had to wait
When the gales of October came slashin'
When afternoon came it was freezing rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind
When halftime came, Ivan Spoke up
Sayin' "Fellas, it's too rough "
At seven PM a main the line caved in
He said, "Fellas, it's been good to know ya"
Seven texted in he had water comin' in
And the good team and staff was in peril
And later that night when his lights went out of sight
Came the wreck of Seven
