The Ballad of Danny Dimes

gary_from_chester : 11/16/2020 11:47 am

He came from that football factory Duke
Picked at six some fans wanted to puke
He replaced an aging legend of the times
And was given the moniker of Danny Dimes

He was clean cut and no doubt the choice was bold
A quarterback that fit the staid Giants mold
Won’t catch this guy out and about with a harlot
Or hanging with degenerates like Fatman In Charlotte

I remember it well a bright sunny day
When he took the helm and beat Tampa Bay
A young gun who really played the game hard
Getty believed he too was touched by his God

Giants fans were believing that their Savior had come
Until he fumbled and stumbled and fumbled a ton
Had the fans turn to their favorite beers and their wines
Thinking this DJ ain’t really no true Danny Dimes

It came to a head against Philly one day
The Giants in contention had to make hay
He played smart he played tough he really balled out
It was an awesome win of that there’s no doubt

Two weeks in a row he’s played a clean game
All of BBI saying keep doing the same
Prove the naysayers wrong and I’ll keep making rhymes
All hail our man DJ our own Danny Dimes
