Analysis of Phutiles

Phutiles, see the Phutiles 1970 (Philadelphia)



Phutiles
See the Phutiles
Watch them lose the way they always do

From the
Windy City
Comes a coach we love to boo

Let's ride
With the family down the street
To see
The team, everybody loves to beat

When you
See the Phutiles
You'll see a sad team, a make you mad team
You'll see a bad ball team
