Deflate That Big Yellow Bumblebee

Sung to the tune of "Yellow Submarine", by the Beatles
Lyrics by Terry Goodwin

In the state just to the north, There's a school…it's called GT. Forced to play the Seminoles, So they came to Tallahassee. And so we played under the sun, On a field the color green. And they came to beat the `Noles, But they'll leave with a defeat! Chorus: Deflate that big yellow bumblebee, Yellow bumblebee, Yellow bumblebee. Deflate that big yellow bumblebee, Yellow bumblebee, Yellow bumblebee.

And the `Noles scored lots of runs,
Many more than did GT.
Fat lady, she came to sing…

(Laughing…opera singing…badly)

(Chorus)

And this game we'll win with ease,
Another win (Another Win!), in the ACC (in the ACC!!).
Sky of blue (Sky of Blue!), and field of green (Field of Green!),
The Seminoles (the `Noles!) will reign supreme (Reign Supreme!).

Note:  This was inspired by the Animals attendance at the 2003 FSU v. Georgia Tech series in Atlanta.  Where does "Yellow Submarine" fit in you ask?  Well, during the Saturday night game, there was one particular GT Fan who liked to make a lot of noise…obviously trying to rally the GT fans and mock the Animals in the process…he was a rather rotund fellow, wearing a bright yellow shirt.  It works.
