I'm a cheesehead, yeah, and I'm proud of it
I'm a cheesehead, yeah, let me shout it
Can't wait for weekends in the fall
When my team comes out to play football
It truly is my favorite sport
The team can depend on my support
I'm not as old as other winners have been
But I assure you, I'm just as big a fan
I remember only seeing players from afar
Until one night we walked into fuzzy Thurston's bar
Paul Hornung had a sore knee and he couldn't play
But he was on the bar "twistin the night away"
I don't have season tickets, that is only a nice dream
But I have always supported my team
I may be only a woman who is starting to get old
But I'll buy tickets when others think it's too cold
If I can't get a ticket at Lambeau, I don't frown
I'll hop on a bus and see them play out of town
I have memorabilia of assorted packer things
And every year I cheer them on, to win a super bowl ring
I stand in line for autographs, sometimes in very long lines
On my Packers jacket only the "elite" get to sign
I was there for the Lambeau hug and with the Packers I had lunch
WE didn't make the Guiness Record but we had a swell bunch
I wear my green and gold proudly, have Packer flags on my car & house
I maintained Packers poetry on the web, ever since I learned to move the mouse
I've gone to mini camp to see what's with the green and gold
I check out all the players, both young and old
I've chastised sports writers in the form of verse
But really, sometimes at them I just curse...
On game day, if I'm watching the game at home
Don't ever try to reach me by phone
I don't answer it, so don't even bother me
Don't call unless it's a real emergency
I don't want to miss a pass or a run
Watching the game is my week's fun
When I watch the games, I get pretty loud
As the winner, I would do the fans proud
I'm an example of the "typical fan"
Event though I'm not a man
I sing the star spangled banner with a tear in my eye
And love the games where they do a "fly by"
So take me to Lambeau, where the greats all played
Take me to Lambeau, where the glory never fades
Men without shirts when it's 20 below
Signs on their chest, saying Go Pack Go
Tailgating is perfected in the parking lot
Steak and shrimp, along with burgers and brats
Icebowl and snowbowls, are memories to keep
Along with players doing the Lambeau Leap
Take me to Lambeau, sit here in the stands with me
Feel the pride and help me cheer the team to victory!!
