A Mid-Series Anthem

You want to know what I did today? This is what I did today. After watching the Phillies come back to win game 5 of the World Series, I felt the need to re-write my song, "Philadelphia Nights," as a mid-series anthem for Phillies phans.

Enjoy!! (The lyrics are below) The song is available as a FREE DOWNLOAD at www.reverbnation.com/maryscholz !!




Philadelphia Nights - Phillies Version - a Mid-Series Anthem by Mary Scholz

Keeping track and keeping tabs
Of all the pitches and all the bats
Rolling past the city lights
That light up my city nights
CB Park 12 stories high
Light that bell up in the sky
Noises never beat the sound
The sound of the crowd

On these Philadelphia Nights

And there we were a week ago
Watching the Dodgers fly back home
Once again the NLCS
The Phils are the best!
And 2009 we know will be
A rePeat Victory!
On these Philadelphia Nights
Then all of a sudden you hear the sound
Of Home Run after Home Run and the Yanks goin down!
And looking up in the sky Watch those fireworks fly!
And all together the Phils will fight
To bring home that trophy on Thursday night
And we will wait and stand and cheer
When our Phillies appear

On that Philadelphia Night
It's Philadelphia's Night
So bring on the fight!!!




-Original Philadelphia Nights Lyrics-

Keeping track and keeping tabs
Of all the bridges and all the cabs
Rolling past the city lights
That light up my city nights

Heart to hearts 8 stories high
Just two good friends and all that sky
Noises never reach the sound
Of singing out loud

Philadelphia Nights

And there we were a week ago
Up on the roof and looking down low
Just two guitars and a drumming hand
We had no need for plans
And all the music that we make
Is nothing else but a sweet escape
And looking out over city lights
The moment was right

On that Philadelphia nights

And all of a sudden you hear the sound
Of silent singing
Now my world's upside down
And moving on with the plan
With my heart in my hand
And now wherever we go from here
More and more it's all too clear
No matter how your days will fair
They will never compare

To these Philadelphia Nights
These Philadelphia Nights
Goodnight!
