September is finally here
That means football season is near
The New Orleans Saints is the best team
The fans have black and gold running through their bloodstreams
As we begin the 50th year
The fans can’t wait to open a beer
But before the beer starts making us dumb
Lets look back at how far we’ve come
It all began in 1967
The New Orleans Saints were a gift from heaven
We were the new kids on the block
With big dreams of reaching the top
The first few years, all games were held at Tulane
But I guess we really can’t complain
Because the Superdome was ready in 1975
And that truly was when the city came alive
Panthers, Giants, Lions and Rams came knocking at our door
And the Colts were crushed in Superbowl forty-four
When Atlanta comes to town the fans come in herds
To watch our Saints fly higher than the dirty birds
The team fights to win for Louisiana
Cuz everyone knows NOLA stands for no one likes Atlanta
A Saints game makes for the best day
In its own unique kind of way
When you walk in the dome, you won’t feel flat
Because you are surrounded by people screaming “Who Dat?!”
From Manning and Dempsey to Brees and Gleason
Fans cheered faithfully every season
We have come a long way since we began
From aints in the 80s to champs in 2010
Benson and Payton believed in our team
And finally brought our city the dream
This year our team is over the hill
But our 50th birthday won’t lessen our will
So bring on the challenge, don’t hold back for any reason
Our Saints are ready to take on this season
