Benchwarmers


Oh Benchwarmer, Benchwarmer

Where did you go?

Our bench is cold, so I 'd like to know

You keep it warm during our games

To help us from getting muscle strains

We need our Benchwarmers in this sport

For we are now ice cubes on the court

We grow very weary, but not dare sit down

The bench is not safe without you around

A girl named Kate was very brave

Declaring she would "benchwarm" for the day

But alas, that did not go very well

Her temperature dropped, and we could tell

Her teeth began chattering, her lips turned blue

Oh Benchwarmer, Benchwarmer

Where are you?

She then bit her tongue, and fell to the floor

Began twitching about, until she could no more

She had bitten too hard and bled out to the end

Oh Benchwarmer, Benchwarmer

You killed a friend!

This is why we have Benchwarmers in our lives

Even if they say it's a thing they despise

Although it looks like your team doesn't care

I want to thank all you Benchwarmers everywhere
