Analysis of Phutiles
Bill Strohecker 1970 (Montgomeryville)
Phutiles
See the Phutiles
Watch them lose the way they always do
From the
Windy City
Comes a team we love to boo
Let's ride
With the family down the street
To see
The club everybody loves to beat
When you're
Watching Phutiles
See a sad team
A make you mad team
You'll see a bad ball team
