MINNESOTA'S VIKINGS ARE RIDING HIGH
WITH A PERFECT TALLY OF TWO AND OH
THIS WEEK THEY'LL TAKE ON CHICAGO'S BEARS
WHOSE RECORD IS PERFECT ALSO

THESE TWO TEAMS HAVE GOTTEN WHERE THEY ARE
IN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAYS
MINNESOTA 'S STAYED CLOSE AND PULLED THEM OUT
WHILE THE BEARS DOMINATE ON SUNDAYS

THE VIKINGS HAVEN'T FOUND IT EASY
BUT EVENTUALLY HAVE PREVAILED
THEY DON'T HAVE AN EXCESS OF TALENT
BUT RATHER A CLOSE EYE FOR DETAIL

THAT'S WHAT CAROLINA'S PANTHERS NEEDED
WHEN THE VIKINGS PUNTED FROM FOURTH AND LONG
EVEN THOUGH THEY LED, A TRICK PLAY'D BEEN CALLED
AND THEY LOST THE GAME WHEN IT WENT WRONG

SO IT'S THE FINESSE OF THE VIKINGS
AGAINST THE BRUTE FORCE OF THE BEARS
WHO NOW HAVE AN OFFENSE THAT MATCHES THEIR DEFENSE
AND A QUARTERBACK WHO'LL PUT IT IN THE AIR

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS KNEW JUST WHAT TO DO
WHEN THE PACKERS GOT OFF TO THAT FAST START
JUST KEEP THEIR HEADS AND PLAY THEIR GAME
KNOWING GREEN BAY SOON WOULD FALL APART

AND SO THEY DID THOUGH IT TOOK A WHILE
THOUGH FAVRE AND DRIVER TRIED THEIR BEST
AND EVEN THEN IT TOOK 'TIL THE END OF THE GAME
UNTIL THE PACKERS' CHANCES WERE PUT TO REST

WHATEVER WILL THE PACKERS DO?
AND HOW CAN THEY ESCAPE THIS LOSING STREAK?
ON THE SURFACE IT APPEARS THEY SHOULD BE GLAD
THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY DETROIT THIS WEEK

THE BEARS BEAT THEM PRETTY BADLY SUNDAY
THOUGH THE LIONS MAINTAIN THEY BEAT THEMSELVES
BUT IF ONE BELIEVES THAT LINE OF THOUGHT
THEY MUST BELIEVE IN SANTA AND HIS ELVES

BUT THIS LIONS TEAM IS TOUGH AT HOME
AS FAVRE AND THE PACK HAVE FOUND BEFORE
IT'S GOING TO TAKE A MUCH BETTER EFFORT
TO NOT BE ON THE SHORT END OF THE SCORE

THE VIKES WILL FIND THE BEARS TOO TOUGH
AND TAKE THEIR FIRST LOSS OF THE SEASON
WHILE MIKE McCARTHY AND THE PACK MUST WIN
OR THE FANS WILL START SCREAMING FOR THE REASON
