Given tonight’s absolute fumble by the replacement refs this seemed like a perfect video to post. As my girlfriend noted to me tonight, you can;t fully blame these NFL replacement refs, but you sure as hell can blame the NFL. Goodell needs to fix this. Thanks to THE NOC for the video.
Lyrics:
I just bought a whistle baby, whistle baby, let me ref
Girl I don’t know the rules except they tell me how to dress
I just wave my arms around and then I throw my flag
I just bought a whistle baby, whistle baby… I’m a scab
I’m betting you like football
And I’m betting you love bad calls
I’m betting you like refs who make calls for teams
To win my fantasy league
Is it a fumble or a dropped pass
Is it cool to pull a facemask
It may take me a little longer
To get every call a little wronger
I just bought a whistle baby, whistle baby, let me ref
Girl I don’t know the rules except they tell me how to dress
I just wave my arms around and then I throw my flag
I just bought a whistle baby, whistle baby… I’m a scab
I’m repping for my team on facebook
My last real job was as a line cook
For a Division III high school
And now I’m enforcing all these dope rules
Like calling this dude for double-dribble
My kid’s hero is Roger Goodell
So what—I missed a little cheap hit
Let’s check a replay for the coin flip
I just bought a whistle baby, whistle baby, let me ref
Girl I don’t know the rules except they tell me how to dress
I just wave my arms around and then I throw my flag
I just bought a whistle baby, whistle baby… I’m a scab
