Tundra FM: Brewers and Packers; Green, Blue and Gold Best Day Ever!
Description
Packers 27, Panthers 19, and somewhere around the end of the first quarter, the Milwaukee Brewers took over Lambeau Field. Brick Lombardi looks back on the happiest, strangest Thursday night he's seen in Green Bay: Brandon Woodruff carrying the World Series trophy out of the tunnel, Sal Frelick's Lambeau Leap, Bernie Brewer in the stands, and the Racing Sausages running the field while grandson Max wants to know who won.
You'll hear Thursday Night at Lambeau and Brats, then the world premiere of Green, Blue and Gold, a brand-new funk song with slap bass and horns about six sacks, a drop that turned into a touchdown, Christian Watson's quick trip to the doctor, a popcorn football ending, and why there's nowhere like Wisconsin to be a sports fan.

[Intro]
(horns hit, crowd noise)
Ow! Thursday night in Titletown...
Somebody bring the trophy out!
[Verse 1]
Lake wind blowing off the bay,
Seventy thousand came to play,
Half got cheeseheads, half got caps,
Some got both, and a plate of brats.
Then out the tunnel, what's that shine?
A World Series trophy, right on time,
The Brew Crew walking on the frozen ground,
And a ballplayer leaped in the stands and they never put him down!
[Pre-Chorus]
(Hey!) It's a two-team town,
(Hey!) Pass the trophy round!
[Chorus]
We got green, blue and gold!
(Green, blue and gold!)
Wisconsin never gets old!
(Never gets old!)
From the bay to the brew,
One state, two teams, one crew,
Turn it up, let the whole world know,
Green, blue and gold!
[Verse 2]
The sausages racing on the fifty-yard line,
Brat took the lead like he does every time,
Bernie Brewer waving from the upper deck,
Little kids screaming, "Is he real?" (Oh, heck!)
Six sacks dropped, the quarterback's dizzy,
Golden dropped one, then caught one, easy,
Watson went to the doctor and back,
Shortest checkup in the history of the Pack!
[Pre-Chorus]
(Hey!) It's a two-team town,
(Hey!) Pass the trophy round!
[Chorus]
We got green, blue and gold!
(Green, blue and gold!)
Wisconsin never gets old!
(Never gets old!)
From the bay to the brew,
One state, two teams, one crew,
Turn it up, let the whole world know,
Green, blue and gold!
[Bridge]
(bass breakdown, handclaps)
Last play, ball goes up... (pop!)
Comes back down, goes up... (pop!)
One more time, it goes up... (pop!)
Popcorn football, y'all, and the Packers fall on top!
(horn break)
[Final Chorus]
(full band, gang vocals)
WE GOT GREEN, BLUE AND GOLD!
(Green, blue and gold!)
Ain't no place like home!
(Ain't no place like home!)
From Kenosha to the Northwoods too,
One state, two teams, one crew,
Turn it up, let the whole world know,
GREEN, BLUE AND GOLD!
[Outro]
(horns trade with ad-libs)
Go Pack Go... Go Brew Crew...
Somebody find the brat a trophy too...
(crowd noise, horns fade)
[fade out]
