You wore the sweater
          And it must have been wool
          And I watched the sweater 
          And must have been the fool
          You jumped and kicked and spun
          I watched and was quickly undone
          It was football night
          In an autumn chill
          I was in the band
          Watching from a nearby hill
          I heard you call out to the crowd
          Singing a fighting song proud
          With energy to spare
          And I kept wondering how
          To get you out of there
          Hot dogs and soda pop
          It’s better that we didn’t stop
          Scoreboard flashing neon bright
          You wore the sweater
          And it always seemed tight
          And I watched the sweater
          And everything seemed right.
