10.) “San Gabriel Valley League Production”
(to the tune of Barry McGuire’s ‘Eve of Destruction’)
The Southeast Division, it is exploding
Offenses flarin’, backs a smokin’
La Mirada fits the bill, but thats just hoping
Norwalk should get it done, but why does it keep on choking
And even West Covina has had its moment broken
***
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
In San Gabriel Valley League production…
***
Don’t you understand what I’m tryin’ to say
Can’t you feel the fears of playing Jack Williams today?
If realignment isn’t pushed, there’s no runnin’ away
There’ll be no one to save, with the Southeast in a grave
[Take a look around ya boy, Justin Huff’s bound to scare ya boy]
***
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
In San Gabriel Valley League production…
***
The Pacific’s so bad its full of discombobulation
The Hacienda’s not much better despite the Noodles sensation
I can’t twist the truth, the Suburban’s got poor represenation.
Five in the Del Rio don’t pass investigation
And La Serna alone can’t balance the equation
When division respect is disintegratin’
This whole crazy Southeast is just too frustratin’
***
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
In San Gabriel Valley League production…
***
Think of all the speed there is at Dominguez
Then take a look around at the Paramount Pirates
Gahr can beat you with four plays in space
Warren will return, to it’s same old place
The poundin’ of Lynwood, the pride of the Viking race.
You can bury your head, but Jorge Reyna won’t leave a trace
Schedule Cerritos or Keppel, but in post-season don’t forget to say grace
***
And, tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don’t believe
In San Gabriel Valley League production…
Mm, no no, you don’t believe
In San Gabriel Valley League production…
