The Voice of Ricky Mazella (Unofficial Song)

NEW!

*This tells the story of my rise to prominence as the founder of the Naismith Army as the official student supporter's group of Springfield College Athletics.

(to Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald)



The legend lives on from New England on down,
Of the lake that they called Massasoit,
The lake, it is told, never gives up her gold,
When the skies of November anointed,
With a mind of his own come to town all alone,
It was Ricky Mazella quite surely,
Should the time ever come for his work to be done,
When the gales of November came early,

The man was the guy from St. Mary’s High,
And a smart native Western New Yorker,
As soccer player though, he was overlooked so,
Somewhere near the Canadian border,
Not knowing his fate as he seemed to debate,
When he waited to hear back from Springfield,
And later that week when the letter came in,
Their acceptance made his future sealed,

Upon his decent Pioneer Valley bound,
It took him two months to get settled,
And every lass knew, as the captain did too,
T'was the ghost of November who meddled,
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait,
When the gales of November came slashin',
When afternoon came it was calm again,
In advance of a match that had beckoned,

When suppertime came, the young buck did the same,
He thought maybe he should go see the action,
At four o’clock pm the match would begin,
He decided to barrack by reaction,
John Gibson once more coached the ladies to score,
As the match had progressed and developed,
And shortly later on when his wits had kicked on,
Came the voice of ol’ Ricky Mazella,

For that was the day that old Springfield had changed,
While his echoes still linger Brock-Affleck,
The mem’ries all say of his praises today,
In the times that he said were fantastic,
He might have been pressured or he might’ve been forced,
But he didn’t want to leave his alma mater,
And all that remains are the faces and the names,
Of the husbands, the sons, and the daughters,

December came not during those three long years,
While they only got as far as John’s Hopkins,
But the night sky gleams like the young man's dreams,
As the times that they had were a-rockin’,
And then came the day that he went away,
Much to his own chagrin haunts forever,
It wasn’t his plan though, as the ladies all know,
With the gales of November remembered,

In the Marsh Memorial Chapel they prayed,
Were they able to find a new fella,
The Union bell chimed till it rang twenty-six times,
For each win under Ricky Mazella,
The legend lives on from New England on down,
Of the lake that they called Massasoit,
The lake, it is told, never gives up her gold,
When the skies of November anointed

Hayley, Go (Player Song)

Introducing a new player for the 2018 season!

(to The Cars' Best Friend's Girl)

You're always racing down the field,
While you improvise.
And in the NEWMAC while you're here,
They'll never know the real surprise,

(Here she comes again),
When she's racing past the halfway line,
Ooh, you better breathe,
(Here she comes again),
When she's dancing past the halfway line,
I kinda like the way she weaves,

Look at Hayley go,
Look at Hayley go, go,
She's looking for twine,

You've got your sharp-shooting boots,
Like a peacful dove,
Ooh when you take your shot,
It's some reaction to love, o-ove, o-ove,

(Here she comes again),
When she's racing past the half way line,
Yeah, you better breathe,
(Here she comes again),
When she's racing past the half way line,
(Here she comes again),
I kinda like the way, I like the way she weaves,

And look at Hayley go,
Look at Hayley go, go,
She's looking for twine,
(All the time),

You're always racing down the field,
While you improvise,
And in the NEWMAC while you're here,
They'll never know the real surprise,

(Here she comes again),
When she's racing past the halfway line,
(Here she comes again),
Ooh, you better breathe,
(Here she comes again)
When she's racing past the halfway line,
(Here she comes again),
I kinda like the way she weaves, like the way she weaves,

And look at Hayley go,
Look at Hayley go, go,
She's looking for twine,
(All the time),

(It's Hayley Byers),
(It's Hayley Byers),
She's looking for twine,
(It's Hayley Byers) yeah yeah,

She's looking for twine,

Chrissy Conley, From East Providence (Player Song)

Interesting a new player song for the 2018 season!

(to Violeta Tomovska's Oj, Vardare Makedonski)
In the back four standing five foot five,
She is studying psychology,

R-
Chrissy Conley, from East Providence,
You won't pass her, she will make you flinch,
Chrissy Conley, from East Providence,
She won't let you take a single inch,

Chrissy Conley has a figure eight,
On you she will set the record straight,
R

Come see Chrissy rise above and soar,
All a part of Springfield's mighty roar,
R

She's in action while we sing this tune,
Here protecting for the white maroon,
R

Good Luck on Your Quest (Player Song)

Introducing a new player for the 2018 season!

(to Spirit of the West's Home for a Rest)

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best,
I've been gone many years, been distraught since I left,
These so-called vacations will soon be my death,
I'm so sick from my life, I need home for a rest,

We arrived in September and Springfield was hot,
We stayed at the field with Coach John on the Spot,
We only saw glory that we could achieve,
Kept a shine on the cup so long as we believed,

R-
Bridget O'Connor, I hear you're the best,
Here from Hannover, Mass, a nice place, I confess,
But your teammates have told me that you're AES,
5 foot 6 in the net, so good luck on your quest,
(So good luck)

Springfield College, from I-90 east,
In a big old van we strifed to say the least,
We managed to pass through the Birkshire's high peaks,
We were so very close in this New England heat,
R

The Pioneer Valley upon us had come,
At one hundred degrees, beating down was the sun,
With no air conditioning, we couldn't bear,
But as we got to campus I no longer cared,
R

And that was the story of Ricky's first day,
He would sing for the team both at home or away,
So now in this tune for Miss Bridget we sing,
In his mem'ry we join, quality may you bring,
R

Introducing a new song for the 2018 season!

What’s with the NEWMAC dissing my club,
Why do they got to front,
What did we ever do to these girls,
Why are they so violent,

Ooh ooh, Springfield College Pride,
Ooh ooh, they’re the team for me,
Ooh ooh, they’re the best to ever be,

Oh-ee-oh she just looks like Angel Schofield,
Oh oh but she plays like Kelly Haines,

I don’t care about that

For the Springfield Pride (Unofficial Team Song)

Introducing a new song for the 2018 season!

(to U2's Pride {In the Name of Love})

Looking down on the four-one-three,
The beauti-ful lush scenery,
As I arrive to the Haley Stand,
This is the place to be,

For the Springfield Pride,
For love of the Springfield Pride,
For the Springfield Pride,
Got my eyes, they're open wide,

Many times in these glory years,
We have managed to have some fun,
And we can look back to successes past,
When all is said and done,
R

Thinking bout what might have been,
If I were forever young,
Many things - with togetherness,
That we could - do as one,
R
For the Springfield Pride,
Got my eyes, they're open wide,
For the Springfield Pride,
Got my eyes, they're open wide

Sara Swetland (Player Song - Re-release)

(to Steve Miller Band's Jet Airliner)

I was ready to come back to town,
Sought around for more,
Singing a song for Miss Sara Swetland,
From Manchester up in New Hampshire,
At 5 foot 4 she's paving the way,
Down the midfield she's on the run,

Oh here come's Sara Swetland,
Studying sport biology,
Oh here come's Sara Swetland,
And she's got a mighty pedigree,

Goodbye to all my friends at home,
Goodbye to people I've trusted,
I've got to go out and make my way,
To go to college to be open minded,
But my heart keeps calling me backwards,
As I get on the Interstate ninety,
Trying to write this song for Sara,
You know you gotta go and keep on walking,
Through the ivy,

Here come's Sara Swetland,
Studying sport biology,
Oh here come's Sara Swetland,
And she's got a mighty pedigree,

Touchin' down in New England town,
Feel the heat comin' down,
I've got to keep on keepin' on,
You know the Haley Stand keeps plays that Springfield sound,
And I'm goin' wothout hesitation,
You know that I can surely see,
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that,
Funky kicks goin' down in the NEWMAC,

Here come's Sara Swetland,
Studying sport biology,
Oh here come's Sara Swetland,
And she's got a mighty pedigree,

Oh here come's Sara Swetland,
Studying sport biology,
Oh here come's Sara Swetland,
And she's got a mighty pedigree

Here come's Sara Swetland,
Studying sport biology,
Oh here come's Sara Swetland,
And she's got a mighty pedigree

Oh here come's Sara Swetland,
To the place that we cal home,
Oh here come's Sara Swetland,
In the midfield where she roams

Hey, hey Brinsley (ooh ah),

I wanna knoooow – how you score a goal

The Night That Sara Swetland Scored (Player Song)

(to the tune of Johnny Burke's The Night Pat Murphy Died)
Uncommissioned SEPT 26 2018.


Oh, the night that Sara Swetland scored is a night I'll never forget,

Some of the girls got loaded glad and they ain't got quiet yet;

As long as the ball was passed around every lass was feelin' great,

Then Ricky came with the Naismith Arm' some music for to play,



And that's how they showed their respect for Sara Swetland,

That's how they showed their honor and their pride;

They said it was a fairytale and they winked at one another,

Now everyone in the Haley sang, the night Miss Swetland scored,



Miss Swetland stood in the corner, to service by the net,

When Johnny and his friends, came roaring from the get;

They crept into an empty spot toward that very goal,

Then Swetland put it into play with a score she gave and stole,

R



At three o'clock in the morning, after having fun so late,

Gibbo came to break it up and check Miss Swetland's state;

He stopped the clock so good ol' Ricky couldn't tell the time,

And at a quarter after three, they argued it was nine,

R



And everyone got merry, they didn't care for prayer,

Miss Swetland said she'd wait till all the gang were there;

Of all the sights I've ever seen that made me jump for joy,

They sang along and told to me "you're a very lucky boy,"

R



On the way they stopped at Inty beyond the Bemis-Schu,

They all walked in 'round half past eight and staggered out at noon,

They went up to Brock-Affleck, so holy and sublime,

And found out when they got there, they left the ball behind,

R



Oh, the night that Sara Swetland scored is a night I'll never forget,

Some of the girls got loaded glad and they ain't got quiet yet;

As long as the ball was passed around every lass was feelin' great,

Then Ricky came with the Naismith Arm' some music for to play,

R

They said it was a fairytale and they winked at one another,
Now everyone in the Haley sang, the night Miss Swetland scored

Kellie Gambell (Player Song)

(to the tune of The Who's Pinball Wizard)


Ever since I was a young boy,

I've owned a soccer ball,

From Buffalo down to Springfield,

I must have played them all,

But I ain't seen nothing like her,

At any soccer patch,

That A-E-S kid

Sure became quite the catch



She came here to Springfield,

Became part of the machine,

Number 16 in the midfield,

Always playing clean,

She plays by intuition,

The opposition fall,

That A-E-S kid,

Sure plays a mean football,



Here comes Kellie Gambell,

She comes from Middletown,

Kellie Gambell,

The best mid all around,



How do you think she does it? (I don't know)

What makes her so good?



She ain't got no distractions,

Immune to all fatigue,

Heart and soul is present,

At home or overseas,

Always gets a replay,

Never seen her fall,

That A-E-S kid,

Sure plays a mean football,



Are you watching,

It’s Kellie for the win,

The opposition,

Have played a cardinal sin,



Even on your favorite field,

She can beat your best,

If you ma-nage to blunder,

She just does the rest,

The NEWMAC’s getting flustered,

Never seen her fall,

That A-E-S kid,

Sure plays a mean football
