Luck Be Like Manning

It's NFL Draft time...and reality looms for Colts fans. Peyton Manning is out...he's not coming back, folks...and we have to embrace Andrew Luck, the Stanford standout NFL franchises are willing to mortgage their futures for.

Let's welcome him to Indianapolis...Frank Sinatra-style.
Luck Be Like Manning

They call him Andrew Luck
The first pick in the draft
A man who has a very Manning-like way
Of throwing routes

He’s here to play QB
With the Colts back at square one
And when this NFL draft is over
Goodbye championship run

We won’t forget our Manning
Some still want him to stay
But we have to hope this Luck can play

Luck be like Manning tonight
Luck be like Manning tonight
Luck you’re supposed to be the best thing under center
Luck be like Manning tonight

Luck make Colts fans see
Why we shipped off eighteen
A legend isn’t here and we’re gonna have to face it
Luck be like Manning? Maybe

This rookie doesn’t have receivers
Or a tight end…Or an o-line
This rookie may have to leave the pocket too much
And run for his first pick Stanford life

Let’s hope the defense will hold
And Grigson’s other picks are bold
Welcome to Indy, you’re the guy we have to pull for
Luck be like Manning tonight

Luck be like Manning tonight
Luck be like Manning tonight
Luck you’re supposed to be the best thing under center
Luck be like Manning tonight

So, let’s hope the defense will hold
And Grigson’s other picks are bold
Welcome to Indy, you’re the guy we have to pull for
Luck be like Manning tonight

Luck be like Manning tonight
Luck be like Manning tonight
Luck be like Manning…tonight
