Annual Kids Music Day Celebrated With Special Guest
Here on The Andie Summers Show, we wanted to celebrate the 8th Annual Kids Music Day by bringing in a special guest, Sabrina Patel. She’s a very talented 10-year-old who is hoping to play the National Anthem at a sporting event in all 50 states, what a cool idea.
Kids Music Day Is Here
Here’s a video of her playing from her YouTube channel. What a talented gal!
Now, we just need to get her to perform here in Philly! Maybe an Eagles game? Phillies game next spring? Or even better, what about a 76ers or a Flyers game in the winter? Let’s make it happen!

[LISTEN] Every Ten Minute Tune By Jeff Kurkjian
November 21st, 2024 - Is It Too Early For Christmas Decor?
Taking a legendary song from George Strait, the King of Country Music, to sing about Christmas. He had just won the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2024 CMAs and so the song was perfect. Here’s the original.
Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long!
I can’t believe that she texted
She wants to decorate for Christmas
It’s November, not December, too early
I haven’t had stuffing, or even turkey!
So I lugged down all those boxes,
Got what I need, nativity and stockings
Then she had this look, those eyes could sing
I thought I was all done, she said one more thing
“Can you get the tree, Santa Baby? It’s time.
To decorate
Grab all the ornaments, the lights, get everything
It’s early we can’t be late
It may not be Thanksgiving
Christmas cannot wait
November 14, 2024 - Yellowstone is BACK
We love us some Yellowstone and finally the second part of season five is back after almost TWO YEARS! We needed this. Amid drama with no Kevin Costner, the show has come back stronger than ever. Here’s the song chosen by the Summers Squad.
Here's Jeff's Version
Or Listen!
Sing A Long
It was twenty, twenty two
When we got part one
Of Yellowstone season five
Man wasn’t that fun?
Waited for a long while
Finally, we won
We got the final part
Of season five
Back with Dutton fam
It’s about damn time
16 million tuned it, to their favorite show
Kevin Costner, we aren’t gonna see him no-mo
But no I promise
This will be spoiler free
Won’t tell you that John Dutton… ahh just kidding
I was worried at first, it won’t be better than the beginning
Let me tell ‘em
Yellowstone
Is just as good without Costner
Beth and Casey plus Rip Wheeler
They hold down the show it works
And trust me, I don’t blame you
For being nervous without his darn good looks
But watch it, I promise you’ll see
Won’t miss him, but you’ll still hate Jamie
November 7th, 2024 - Finally The DMV
One of our members of The Summers Squad, Megan, has been asking for this topic for a year and a half. That isn’t a joke. She works at the DMV and has always wanted Jeff to sing about it. We chose an amazing song from George Birge.
Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long
I don’t come here much cause I hate this place
Too many lines
It’s taking so long, all I do is wait
I’m losing mind
Bought a new car now need a license plate
So I’ll take a number
But just remember this one this while you wait and wait
The people working there are people too
They didn’t create this system
They are just there to try to help you
They want to help using their wisdom
So even though it may seem that this is the worst day ever
Some would rather take their hand severed
But trust me, things could be, much worse you see
It isn’t that bad at the DMV
It Isn’t that bad at the DMV
October 31st, 2024 - HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
It won’t always happen this way but this year Halloween is on a Thursday! WHICH IS THE DAY OF TEN MINUTE TUNE! Doug of the Summers Squad challenged Jeff to a tough song, Sam Hunt’s Country House! Here’s the original.
Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long
Pumpkins on the porch, bowl of candy by the door
Skeleton in the chair, got cobwebs on the floor, oh-oh
Normal house is what it seems
Man I hope they’re giving out Reese’s
But oh my gosh we were wrong, hit that doorbell, ding-dong
Then the spookiness began right here.
Then we heard a spooky song, and then not before long
A ghoul and a ghost did appear, and I say…
Don’t go up to a haunted house, to a haunted house for candy
It wasn’t just a ghost made from an old sheet, don’t go here to trick or treat
Thought rumors were a fluke, that place is full of spook
But I didn’t believe, that’s on me
Next year I am handing out candy, you can’t convince me
To go to a haunted house with you!
BOOO BOOO
BOOO BOOO
October 24th, 2024 - Political Ads w/Chris Stapleton
Political ads are EVERYWHERE especially with the 2024 Presidential Election less than two weeks away, we need them to go away! Here’s the original song that Jeff had to remix.
Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long!
Lately, have you ever wondered
Will these silly ads ever end
Or if they are even working
And maybe they change mind or two
But more likely than all of that
They drive us crazy and that’s a fact
[Chorus]
These ads won’t make me vote for you
Most of us made up our minds
So depressing making me all blue
Not a single one is kind
Have you ever thought this one through
Maybe you will learn to find
There’s way too much boo hoo
Still not gonna vote for you!
not going to vote for you!
[Verse 2]
Ooh, I won’t let this overpower me
I’m not sure what to believe
On my TV, or right next to me
I can’t get away from all of these
Half of it is fake that I see
Get me away from this please
I am sick and tired of these
PRESIDENCY!
October 10th, 2024 - Spirit Halloween Stores
They are EVERYWHERE! Jeff had to sing about it. Also, did you hear that they might be turning into Christmas stores too? Crazy. Here’s the original song.
Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long
Remember that old Walgreens on the corner of
Main street and 2nd, man we use to love
Going out there to get a soda and a snack
Did you hear that they just closed their doors?
43 years and now it’s no more
What will replace it? CVS or a radio shack?
But I think we all know what’s about to do down
They’re throwing up their banner, into your town
If you’re looking for a costume, this place is around
Spirit Halloween, opened its doors
Taking over a closed down store
Their costumes are, not very cheap
But they have everything that you could need
Everything from Bluey, to Beetlejuice
Or a minion or deadpool
They got big plans to do much more than all of this…
Instead of just halloween they want some more bliss
Spirit Christmas
October 3rd, 2024 - Homecoming!!!
Gotta love homecoming time! What a great time to be alive. Jeff was tasked with taking the amazing “House Party” by Sam Hunt and remixing it!
Here's Jeff's Version!
Sing A Long
The night is tonight, the dance is finally here!
It’s time to dress up, hangout with all your peers
But one of those guys, wanted to be your date
With flowers and a sign, now there’s no more wait
‘Cause he’ll be at your door in ten minutes
Finish your makeup girl for pictures
Your daddy’s got a gun and he’s at the front door
Guaranteed embarrassment!
It’s time for Homecoming, and you are wonderin’
Will he give a kiss, at the end of the night
All of your friends are waiting but your date is saying
“We should sneak out of here, and go to the bleachers”
But remember this is homecoming
Just have fun with everybody
That date he could be a nobody
Friends are important ask anybody!
September 26th, 2024 - Kids Hurting You
It happens to us all! Jeff Kurkjian talked about how his 13-month old punched him in the throat accidentally and thinking he was going to die. It happens to ALL PARENTS! Well Marsha wanted Jeff to sing about it to a Jelly Roll song, “I Am Not Okay!” What a perfect song for the topic. Here’s the original.
Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long!!
I am not okay,
Cause I was almost killed,
My kid she is so strong,
Like a ninja, she’s so skilled.
What I didn’t know,
It’s happened to us all,
The pain that our kids can cause,
Is surprising, they’re so small!
Punched in, my throat, and I couldn’t breath
Maybe their head hit your nose.
And now, you can’t see
But there’s one thing we know
You’re not okay
But your kids they love you so
Haven’t slept in days
But hold on tight so they don’t grow!
September 19th, 2024 - Pumpkin My Spice
Somebody pumpkin my spice!!! A great Ten Minute Tune from Jeff this week using Post Malone’s new song. He pairs up with Blake Shelton for “Pour Me A Drink!” Here’s the original.
Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long
I’ve been waiting all year long for this time
It’s finally fall and I am feeling so alive
Dusting off my sweatshirts and my UGG Boots
I just love, this weather
Need to grab some pumpkins and a bale of hay
My man carries it all, so I can decorate
Cider sipping on my porch, with my hubbay
It’s the best, none better
Somebody pumpkin my spice, because it makes me feel nice
I’m living my best life, with cold brew coffee on ice
I’ve been waiting for fall, the entire summer long
Watching Sunday Football, wine tasting wearing a shall
When it is finally fall yay, bale o hay’, basic that is my name
I cannot contain it, I just want scream it all day!
Somebody pumpkin my spice!
September 5th, 2024 - FOOTBALL SEASON IS BACK BABY!
Cannot believe yet another football season is upon us!! Jeff was tasked to sing all about it. To the great Kane Brown song as well, WOW we love this song. “Miles On It” is a smash hit!
Here's Jeff's Version!
Sing A Long!
New year, same team, they win, I scream
Since when I was a teen
I’ve yelled about their scheme
Run or pass, the ball, it’s fine-lee fall,
It’s time for football, and we all
Sit down on our couch Sundays
Cold six pack and we are here to stay
Just you and your team, with a pack of fresh chips and a heart full of dreams
This could be our year, if you know what I mean
Football Is Back
Put on your jersey Quarterback don’t take a sack
I need another snack, after just one game we are smiling or we cry
Determines our mood, not matter girl or guy
Football is back!
August 29th, 2024 - Dropping Kids Off At School
This is a big time for college drop offs! Amazing time of year for kids, exciting and scary. Parents as well, going through a lot. Jeff was tasked with taking Luke Bryan’s song “Love You Miss You Mean It” to sing about it!
Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long
Our kids are at university.
Their mama she weeped, They hugged their daddy
We drove back home alone, back to an empty nest
They just grow up so fast
Well, I just hope that they don’t skip class
They are off into the world, I feel emptiness
And we say, “Love you, miss you, mean it”
Let’s find time to chat on weekends
Cause we just miss you so much you’re our best friend
Just remember that you’re having the best time
Meeting all these girls and guys
But we are back home texting
“Love you, miss you, mean it, kiddo”
August 22nd, 2024 - BACK TO SCHOOL BABY!
Love to see this time of year. FALL! The kids are going back to school, which is just so amazing. Jeff was tasked with singing about Back To School prep but to Dasha’s Austin.
Here's Jeff's Version!!
Sing A Long
We’ve got a plan, to get all of the supplies
Get in the van, grab the list so we aren’t surprised
We’ll pack your bag, new clothes to brag and a new pair of shoes
Summer is gone, we sing this song and staff members to shmooze
We just found out, who your teacher is this year
What’s she about? If she’s mean then you’ll shed a tear
Will your friends, til the very end, end up in your class
Bring your pens, don’t share them, or it’s your… ASS
Back to school it’s happening’
Summer time’s no more
You’ve been going each year
Since the age of four.
When it’s the fall, then we all
Head right back to school
Our shopping haul, oh it ain’t small
You can’t look like a fool
What about your parents?
Well they jump with joy
Built in babysitter
For their girl and boy
They may cry, in their eyes
Just for half a minute
Then pour some wine, cause it’s their time
Mom and dad are, winning.

Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long
Oh no watch out it’s Hurricane Debbie
With the wind and floodin’ it’s crazy
Hittin’ by a storm all the farms losing corn
Like the movie Twisters it’s scary
It’s the season for them hurricanes
Debbie ain’t not joke she’s causing pain

She is just an angry lady
Sweeping in cancel all our plans!

I usually don’t watch badminton
Water polo or weightlifting
But starting Friday it all changes
Cause it’s the olympics
But every year I just sit and watch
But maybe this year it’ll be different
Cause I’ve been training so very hard
I wanna try and audition
I’ve tried squash
I’ve tried Lacrosse
Karate and Cricket but I always lost
I never find my balls when I’m playing golf
But I’m five foot six trust me that’s no help
I even tried taekwondo
Archery and volleyball
But I guess I wasn’t meant to be an olympian
You will find me on my couch just eating chips.
July 18th, 2024 - Amazon Prime
Jeff sang about Bum Bum Cream, Donnie’s new fav Amazon Prime purchase. And it did not disappoint.
Here’s the original!
Here's Jeff's Version!
Sing A Long!
Well, she was shopping on Amazon
Trying to get, the best deals
Her husband comes over to her
Said “I bought something, it was a steal”
He went and purchased some Bum Bum Cream
Because he heard it from Donnie
He had one thing in mind, just one thing
He wanted to take it and it rub on his wifey
Oh no, she says
In your dreams baby,
No bum bum cream
Yeah he was, a bummed out hubby
July 11th, 2024 - It Is So Darn Hot!

Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long
Oh baby I am sweatin’, in places that we don’t discuss
Man I hate this weather, the sun’s beating down on us
And then it starts a rainin’, But after it is still humid!
My plants and grass are thirsty, man I think that sun is stupid
One, I pull out the sprinkler then I throw it on the lawn
Then I grab another, save our plants before they’re gone
Man it is so warm that I be sweating on and on
Oh my, it’s hot
Someone fill me up with water in my stanley
Yes I know that my cup isn’t that manly
I’m surviving this summer but just barely
Gotta force feed water to my family!
And don’t forget the paws of your puppy!
It’s way too hot I should just go get tipsy
July 4th, 2024 - HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Here's Jeff's Version
Heres the amazing song.
Sing A Long!
I’ve got a hot grill and I’m making dogs
And some burgers with cheese of course
We just need, cold beer and country songs
And no rules that we need to enforce
But there’s a side
That we’ve all brung to a party
Without any effort hardly
I’m talking, veggie tray from your supermarket
You bought it only about two minutes ago
Jim and Jane took the time to make a dish
But you just lost track of time, still decided to show
But we, don’t judge cause everyone’s busy
But don’t worry at least they brought drinks
They may be watermelon seltzers
But it’s something to share that’s not just carrots and hummus.

She is my daughter
She’s my sweet McKinley
She’s the only thing
That makes this whole world spin plus Emily
On her very first day
I swore to it to everything
I would always wake up and try to be the best daddy
She is my daughter
She is my daughter!

Well we better get in the car or else we’ll drive all day long
Get your iPads on and don’t bother dad and mom
Yeah
Down the shore
Driving on AC Expressway

Here's Jeff's Version
SING A LONG!
Since I was a kid, school is what it is,
Day in and out I did the work
Elementary, middle, high
Went to prom black tie
A degree is what I got as a perk
Then I start to wonder
What’s next, over or under
Six months til I become an employee
Or maybe I can enlist
Serve my country thanks for your service
Or maybe I’m be bum and enjoy it
Cause I’m a graduate
Excited about my future,
Don’t want to be a loser, wanna split the uber?
Cause I’m jobless
I just keep applying
High demand, no supplying, reality I’m denying
And I don’t mind the rest
Actually it’s the best, but eventually
I won’t be jobless, I’ll make cash, I’m a graduate
We love to celebrate you!
May 9th, 2024 - Happy Mother's Day

Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long
Mommy, lookin’ up at you
Pick me up off of the playmat
Give me a kiss or two
And mommy, now I’m all that you do
Say goodbye to happy hours
Time for Ms Rachel and Blues Clues
Cause you got me,
For the rest of your days
Wake up crying on a Sunday morning
Or pooping in the middle of the rain
You got me
And if I don’t get my way
I will scream, cry and pout
Until you say okay!
‘Cause you got me
Me, me and only me
Forget about Daddy
Cause you got me, me and only me,
For life I’ll be your bestie!
May 2nd, 2024 - Cheesesteaks!
Seems vague but stay with us. XTU Nation is celebrating that Jim’s Steaks is open once again after almost two years of being closed. An electrical fire back in 2022 burned the Philadelphia staple down. They remodeled, made it happen, and now it is open once again. But what song? Jordan Davis, Tucson Too Late!
Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long!
I can’t believe that it happened, not after all the this time
Jim’s Steaks been a staple since 1939.
The shop up in flames, back in twenty twenty two
And now finally we rejoice, again we eat their food
Can’t wait to order my cheesesteak
If ain’t in Philly then it’s fake
Whiz or whiz wit, no stress
Mushroom, Pizza or Meatless
Back and open after almost two years
At 400 South Street, right next to 4th and Bainbridge
You’ll eat and then you’ll have to cheer
It burned down, it was gone
But it’s back it’s my Jawn, Jim’s Steaks
April 25th, 2024 - Take Your Child To Work Day
It’s kind of a National Holiday when you think about it! Who doesn’t remember going to work with mom or dad growing up? A little different now with everyone working from home honestly but XTU Nation challenged Jeff to write about it!
Here's Jeff's Version
SO GOOD! If you are planning on taking your kid to work, gotta play this song to maybe give them the WRONG thing to do!
Sing-A-Long
There’s so much goin’ on at dad’s work
Taking me there, gotta tuck in my shirt
Guess what I’m not going to school
Cause I’m going to work with my dad you fool
I wonder what they’ll have me do?
Sign some checks, maybe even fire you
Little did I know my time…
Would be filled up with getting their coffee
I’m only seven I can’t staple legal briefs
I just want to play on my dad’s PC
I’m making copies, for the next meeting
Then I decide I’m gonna pull my pants down
Make a copy of my butt and send it around
Blame it on the guy that never makes a sound
I run this place now, I say with a smirk
Out here at my dad’s work
April 18th, 2024 - Jelly Roll Getting Sued By Jellyroll
This is a big news story, you can actually read all about it here. Jelly Roll may be in trouble for his name after a band, named Jellyroll, claims they have a trademark on the name. Which they do!
XTU Nation decided to challenge Jeff to this topic along with this song, Chevrolet that features Jelly Roll of course.
Here's Jeff's Version Of It!
Wish him luck. This isn’t the first time he has sang Dustin Lynch OR Jelly Roll but now he’s taking on BOTH!
Sing A Long
Hi I’m Jelly Roll, and what’s your name?
Also Jelly Roll oh that is awk… ward.
Oh you’re suing me, isn’t that so lame
Lemme tell you why, we can both thrive
You’re a great wedding band, and I’m a country star
Let’s go have a drink, you pick the bar
And hash this out
I’ll give you some cash, we both keep the name
I’ll even share a vid, help you grow your fame
Ain’t no shame, yeah
Just drop your claim!
April 11th, 2024 - Morgan Wallen Gets Arrested
This guy was up to no good at Eric Church’s bar. He threw a chair off the six story balcony of the new bar that just opened. Leading to his arrest!! Three felonies he’s being charged with. Here’s the original song Jeff is remixing.
Here's Jeff's Version
This is what everyone was talking about! Morgan Wallen throwing a chair off the sixth story of Eric Church’s bar. So let’s hear how Jeff did.
Sing A Long!
I got mad at a barstool, like a darn fool
All because of my ex,
My buddy said, “Give me that chair”
I gave him a stare, and then threw it right off the deck
But I was up six stories high, almost hit cops, man they could’ve died
And now I’m facing quite the legal trial
The end result could be prison time
Three felonies, I’ve been charged with,
Disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment
I’m the shell of a man, when my ex eloped.
Had to throw something so I could cope,
I posted bail, it was fifteen kay
Davidson County can’t hold me
But I hope that I can get some help after I take a plea
All cause I threw a chair
April 4th, 2024 - April Showers
Kenny Chesney’s newest song, “Take Her Home,” was the subject of this week’s Ten Minute Tune. We need the rain to make spring and summer beautiful and that’s what this is all about. Check out the original song.

March 28th, 2024 - Opening Day For The Phillies (Kinda)

Jeff's Version
Tasked with this great duet, let’s see what happens. Singing about Opening Day, the 2024 squad, the weather, all of the above. It’s a large undertaking but let’s listen!
Sing A Long
It is always windy and it’s cold and sometimes it’s raining
But when you watch on Opening Day there ain’t no complainin’
And we remember that team, circa two thousand and eight
Or even that team in eighty man those teams felt like fate
Screamin’ and cheerin’ were allowed in Philly’s house
Now playing third his name is Bohmer, and at short is Trea Turner
Castellanos Stott and Wheeler, leading off is Schwarber
But there is one more name, MVP, he’s number three,
Now we call this place Harper’s house
We’re hoping lots of homers, maybe even a no-no
Our fans wa
nt Red October, the playoffs we will go
But there is one more man, MVP, he’s number three,
Cause we call this place Harper’s house
Thursday, March 21st 2024 - Spring Time Baby!!

Jeff's Version
Jeff’s version is fun!! Let us know what you think and sing a long below.
Sing A Long
Spring time right now!
Now that it’s spring time, the flowers come out
And then there’s baseball, the Phillies back in town
Put away your snow boots and grab your gardening gloves
It’s spring time
No more shovelin’ snow, man wasn’t that the worst?
Now you can back porch chill, margarita quench your thirst
Finally it’s spring, and clothes they’re optional
Cept for Donnie
Man it is finally spring, right now
Yeah maybe a bit cold but no snow to plow
Easter baby, yeah my eggs are loud
Spring breaking all night
Nothing but wild
I could use a little flip flop weather
Even put a big hat on my head with a feather
Spring is all I wanted
Take me out with the crowd
Birds making sounds
Damn, I’m so glad that it’s
Spring time, right now
Spring time, right now

LEAP DAY! We are hosting this amazing wedding and this song will be played LIVE by Scotty as the first dance.
Here's Jeff's Version
So we are having a wedding ceremony on Leap Day WITH Scotty so we had to do his song. But instead of making an already sweet song, sweeter, Jeff was challenged to talk about the tough days of marriage. What marriage REALLY is!
Sing A Long!
Yeah you just got married, the phase is honeymoon
And you’re thinking that life together will always be roses in bloom
Oh but dontcha know, the feeling will end soon
Yeah you’re actually quite near, just a few more years, oh you wait,
Yeah, you’ll think he’s a buffoon.
This is marriage, here’s the truth
One day it’s great, then pulling a tooth
Get off the couch, can’t you help me with the dishes
Take out the trash, kiss me more
Nevermind, man you snore.
Sleeping on the couch, and then laughing together
But the one thing I love is that it’s forever
This is marriage.
February 22nd, 2024 - Horse Running On 95 and Luke Combs
Rick from Mount Laurel had an amazing suggestion. “Where The Wild Things Are” is a huge hit for Luke Combs.
Here’s the original!
Here's Jeff's Version
Listen here to his version of “Where The Wild Things Are” about the horse running on 95! So funny.
Lyrics Here!
I’m driving down Interstate 95
Just my normal commuting
My radio on ninety two point five
And then something confusing
Then I looked to my right, what a sight running on the highway
He pointed his big nose west
Looking for a bale of hay..
I slow down so I can match his speed
Twenty five miles per hour
Might as well be running in some sort of Grand Prix
Shower him with flowers
And all the cars on the road slow down to protect his heart
All the people on the streets out here
Love the horse running like a car
Oh, his hooves on fire it’s a sight to see
Oh, he merges right exits at Alleghany
We light up those streets, flash our high beams throw our caution lights on
For the horse running like a car!
February 15th, 2024 - Spring Training Has Begun
“Mind On You” is a smash hit for up-and-coming artist, George Birge. No surprise that XTU Nation wanted Jeff to sing a version of the song. Check out the original.
Here's Jeff's Version
He took on George Birge singing all about the start of Spring Training in Florida!
Lyrics
Well, Phillies, it’s Spring Training
Pitchers catchers, it’s time to report, Clearwater
Philly this is our year
Take a sip of beer and here’s why you’ll cheer, Go Phils!
We both know last year had a rough end
But this year we’re going full send
I’m a Phillies fan and a fan of the Phils
If it’s Mike Schmidt nineteen eighty or Hamels in oh eight
Now we’ve got Harper with his hits he don’t miss
Nola signed a big deal, you can take that to the bank
Every time, we take the field during this season
Beer in my hands, ball cap jawn and the game turned on
Oh fans sing this song, can’t wait for a shwarbomb!
BONUS! February 9th, 2024 - Will T Swift Make It To The Super Bowl?
That’s what everyone is asking. Taylor is performing in Tokyo and then has a small window to make it to Las Vegas in time for the Super Bowl. Will she do it? Jeff sang about it to her hit song, “Our Song.”
Here's Jeff's Version
How cool is this version?? He decided to do an extra one because people wanted BOTH a Toby song and a Taylor song.
Watch It Here!
@jpkurkjian Are any #Swifties on this app? Will she make it in time to see Travis in the SuperBowl? #LasVegas
♬ original sound - Jeff Kurkjian - Jeff KurkjianListen Here!
Sing A Long
I was flying real fast, Japan to Vegas
Trying to make it to his game
I just played four shows crushed it Tokyo
Hope the skies are tame.
12 hour flight, flying into the night
And I finally make it there.
And when I roll up, heads they’ll turn yup,
Travis, you’ve got to hear.
And I say,
Super Bowl but I’m here for you
Ain’t nobody else that I want and that’s true
When the game is on and they cut to my booth
I don’t care cause I’m cheering on my boo
And when you go and win this game
You better get on a knee and propose to me
Just announced an album, after another Grammy I won
The only thing I need, well I need a ring

But he wouldn’t want us to cry
He would want us to party right
So if you want go out tonight
We can have a good good time
We say Toby!
He is as good as he once was
Even one hundred years from now
We’re jammin’ to his songs
All weekend long
So we can honor his great life
When you think of Toby Keith
And his love for military
He is as good once was
He is number one, in all of our hearts
February 1st, 2024 - Groundhog Day With A Mix Of Hardy
LOVE Hardy so much. This song has been requested for a LONG time and we finally found the perfect match for it. February 2nd is Groundhog’s Day. A special day that Jeff is going to have to sing about. He’s taking Hardy’s “Truck Bed,” let’s listen to the original.
Here's Jeff's Version
Wow! He really rocked out on this one. Truck Bed but singing about Groundhog Day! How legendary is this??
Here Are The Lyrics
I woke up on the wrong side of my shadow this morning
With a bunch weirdly dressed people watching
Damn, they got some nerve, waking me up from slumber
Is it more winter or is it now summer?
‘Cause I woke up on the wrong side of my shadow this morning, yeah
You know me I’m Punxsutawney Phil
And now PETA wants a coin instead, I say nah just chill
6 a.m. they knock-knock, open up my door
Rub my eyes, it’s a surprise, once a year I have this chore
Yeah, I be like Santa Claus
Work one day a year, get all the broads
I woke up on the wrong side of my shadow this morning
With a bunch weirdly dressed people watching
Damn, they got some nerve, waking me up from slumber
Is it more winter or is it now summer?
I’m Punxsutawney Phil no one can replace my presence
See my shadow or not I predict the weather,
Ain’t nobody know, that this job ain’t just some joke
I’m a legend don’t agree then you must go!
January 15, 2024 - SAVE ME But All About Ski Day

I CAN FEEL IT! But we are singing about rain and storms. Listen here and see the lyrics below.
Sing A Long
You can barely see the car
Right in front of you is it close or far?
This damn rain making life bizarre
Then the lights went out
Powers out all down our street
High winds all night at the very least
Schools be closed, oh what a treat
Now what do we do all day?
Kids want to watch a show
TV will not go on
What else to do, I know
We can play monopoly, flashlight tag or puzzle or we
Put away our tree, since it’s no longer christmas, build a lego just
Maybe oh please don’t hurt each other and def don’t yell at me
Oh, gosh, this rain has me pulling out my hair
I need a prayer
January 4, 2024 - Save Me The Trouble All About Snow

November 16, 2023 - Thanksgiving Is HERE!
Donnie got a little excited and decided to really challenge Jeff for this week after seeing Kathy’s text. “Ain’t Going Down” by Garth Brooks is a great song but a tough song at that. Lots of lyrics. Let’s hear the original.
Here's Jeff's Version
We think this is by far his most impressive Ten Minute Tune to date! Here’s his version.
Sing A Long Here!
Six o’clock on Thursday evening
Got a big food baby growing
When I hear the fridge a opening
Leftovers getting into motion
Local country station X-T-U on the radio
Pick me up at seven I can’t get my butt of the flo
Momma’s on the front porch screamin’ mashed potatoes
You better get your plate back
So you can eat another serving, yeah
… Nine o’clock my eyes are closing
But the fun is just beginning
Crazy Uncle politicking
Cousin says “ugh I’m leaving”
Another bite to eat
I’m so full but that’s what I want
Big laughing and game nighting
Sitting next to my drunk aunt
Can’t fit into my socks
Cause I had a lot of cheese
But eating for the season
Real late eating between my cheeks
… I’m chowing down
‘Til the sun comes up
Thanksgiving yes
Put wine up in my cup
Picking all my sides
Hope I don’t throw up
I’m chowing down
‘Til the sun comes up
November 2nd, 2023 - Is It Christmas Yet??
Jeff was tasked with singing about early Christmas decorators but only using Russell Dickerson’s “God Gave Me A Girl.” Here’s the original!
Here's Jeff's Version
Man, if you don’t want to get in the early Christmas spirit, then don’t listen to this song.
Sing A-Long
We celebrated Halloween
Twix and Snickers, and Reeses,
What a great one night that we had
Trust me it’s not that I think that it’s bad
Now for me, a shopping spree,
Get rid of pumpkins, rake the leaves
Never really gave Thanksgiving a thought
Man, as soon as I swore it off
I set up my tree,
November 15th,
Hung the lights from the see-ling, it brings me such glee
Every time I hang mistletoe
I blast Mariah nobody needs to know,
Lots of nutcrackers,
Gold Frankincense and myrrh
Santa’s wearing a fur
Cookie batter we will stir
Now I don’t care it’s November
I love Christmas you need to remember
I set up my tree!
October 26th, 2023 - Couples Costumes For The Win

You could be a mop, I’ll be Mr. Clean (ayy)
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Yeah, we dressing like Rip and Beth on Yellowstone
Travis Kelce, T Swift get a picture on my phone

Oppenheimer old timer or a writer on a strike
That’s halloween, twenty three dressing like.

Here's Jeff's Version
You gotta listen here and then follow along with the lyrics below.
Watch Jeff perform it here!
Sing A Long
The Phillies are in Red October taking on the Diamondbacks
We took the first games here at home
Five to three and ten zero smack.
We only need just two more wins
To the World Series baby we are back
Castellanos
With Liam cheerin on the team [pause]
When we get to Arizona in the desert heat
We will see their fans so bored their just sitting in their seats
Phillies starting pitching is tough to beat
Nola Wheeler Suarez
All our starters are neat [pause]
Well, my name is Bryce Harper and I’m playing for the Phils
And I’m hitting all the homers on my birthday what a thrill
Dingers all night, let’s go Phillies
Red October boys and me
Now I’m number three and there ain’t nobody who can hit like me
Then there’s Kyle Schwarber, he broke a record with lead off homers
We know we shouldn’t take it slow
We should sweep these guys going toe to toe
Arizona knows!
When we make it to their field,
They might as well kneel and yield.
October 12th, 2023 - Truth About You (By You We Mean Amazon)
Amazon Prime Day Deals just happened and so did the second biggest Powerball EVER. Buying tickets and buying deals all put us in debt so Jeff is singing about it.

September 28th, 2023 - T Swift and T Kelce
This is what everybody is talking about right now. She attended the Chiefs game on September 24th to cheer on Kelce and the internet exploded. See the pictures here.
Here’s the song XTU Nation chose for Jeff to change!
Here's Jeff's Version
Jeff did his very best at singing Taylor but made this song more about the Eagles than the Chiefs! How? Find out!
Sing A Long
You’re at the game for your tight end, T-Kelce
He’s scoring touchdowns for the team in Kansas City
But I grew up, rooting for the Eagles…
The internet explodes, when the pictures dropped with his mom
Then we walked out the game together like it’s prom
The tops off, not my top, I mean his car…
But this whole country’s filled with Swifties
But now she’s a fan of the Chiefs of Kansas City
Maybe it’s her plan that she’s had all along
To break his, little heart and root for his big bro
Taylor Swift is dating one of the Kelce Brothers,
She even is now best friends with his mother, can’t you see?
It’s a conspiracy, to benefit Phillyyyyyy
September 21, 2023 - "Angels" About The Fall Season
Thomas Rhett’s 21st number one is “Angels (Don’t Always Have Wings)” and this week, XTU Nation challenged Jeff to SANG it and change the lyrics.
Here’s the original…
Here's Jeff's Version!
Sing A Long!
It’s the best time of year, Eagles football, phillies playoffs is here
Autumn starts on Saturday, Thanksgiving is near
Get those flannels cheers while we drink pumpkin beer
Ugg boots are back, no it’s not weird
Time to put out the gourds, on the porch and that bale of hay
We light our candles, pumpkin scented and orange hand towels
We know why it’s the greatest fall season is really the best
Basic witches they’re living for this
September 14th, 2023- Birds Home Opener
YES the 2022-2023 football season has begun. Week one, the birds got a win in New England and now they return home for week two’s matchup against the Vikings! Tammy picked Bailey Zimmerman’s “Religiously” as the song for this week.
Here's Jeff's Version
Jeff loves singing about the birds, he’s done it quite a bit before. Here it is!
Here are the lyrics
I went looking at highlights of the Super Bowl
All those bad memories
But we won on week one, now we back at the Linc
Now against the Vikings
Jalen Hurts Touchdown, DeAndre Swift on the ground,
Football is back in town
And yeah we, want the crown, back to the Super Bowl game
But we gotta win now, home opener
And now the birds on Thursday night
Sack Kirk Cousins under the lights
‘Cause we got the best defense in the NFL
The birds in town
And when the offense takes the field
Four TDs later we will kneel
‘Cause we make the other teams fans leave with a frown
The birds in town
September 7th, 2023 - ESCAPED CONVICT
A prisoner escaped a Chester County prison and is on the run. Tammy texted in and wanted Jeff to write a song about it to the tune of “Try That In A Small Town!”
Here’s the original…
Here's Jeff's Version
Sing A Long!
Heard a man escaped from the prison
Chester County high alert that’s the reason
He was spotted flicking lights in a basement
Where did he go? Visit Longwood Gardens
He’s caught on cam, Cavalcate
Only five foot oh but a bit insane
Yeah, have we found him yet?
Well, is he in our small town?
I wonder how long he’ll make it down the road
Who knows he could be back in Brazil
Or trying to score tix to see the Phils
But if you find him, I recommend you call
The police in your small town
August 31st, 2023 - BACK TO SCHOOL!
Jeff sings “Stars Like Confetti” just like Dustin Lynch (kinda) but all about the first day of school and food fights? Here’s the original song.
Here's Jeff's Version!
Sing Along!
There we were
In the back of that old yellow bus
The bumpy road
A couple kids backpacks on us
Brand new shoes,
You know I still recall the taste
Of my brown bag lunch PB sandwich
My teacher yelling “don’t eat that paste”
It’s the beginning of the year
Gotta see who’s in my classes
But I really hope
I don’t get bullied for my glasses
Boy do I remember it was the first of September
I was hangin’ in the lunch room with the choir I’m a member
All I know is Ian Bigalow starts standin’
All his friends are joinin’, they start throwin’
Fries like confetti, ah
Fries like confetti, ah
August 17th, 2023 Jeff's Paternity Leave
Hey, it’s Andie here. Our guy Jeff is brand new dad to his happy & healthy daughter, McKinley!

So instead, Jeff recorded his own Ten Minute Tune from home and surprised The Andie Summers Show on air. Take a listen, one will make you laugh and one will make you cry!
Hope You Dance (Jeff’s Version)
Country Roads (Jeff’s Version)

Here’s the original!
Here's Jeff's Version!!
He doesn’t quite sound like Kane Brown but his lyrics are HILARIOUS!

And Jalen Carter he don’t miss, yeah

Take a listen to the original.
Here's Jeff's Version!
Sing Along!
Aliens came down to earth
In craft somewhere near Fort Worth
And now we know, we’re not alone
Outside this ozone, and it’s true
Feeling like Independence Day
Here forever or is it their vacay?
These aliens, are they friends?
We don’t know what it is that they want
Do they want to watch baseball?
King of Prussia see the mall?
Do they, want to pick a fight,
With us, or play pickleball at night
I hope that, they don’t apply
To take, our jobs that’s not right
It’s just a matter of time ’til they find
Their ship and fly
July 20th, 2023 - Jeff Sings "Last Night" By Morgan Wallen

Let’s listen to the original.
Let's Hear Jeff's Version
Sing Along!
Last night, the baby couldn’t sleep
I’m waking up for every little thing that she says she needs
I thought that being dad would be a gift that keeps on givin’
But now I know that it is also very much exhaustin’
I was not sleepin’ last night
I kissed her head
Then I said please baby go to bed
Now I need to sleep, can I get some meds?
Just close your little eyes, while I rest my head
Cause, you know she will wake up
And scream, cry and throw up
But I’m still gon’ wake up cause I love this girl
I know that last night she kept on waking up
I can’t remember ever loving something at all this much
They told me that my life and family would never be the same
But this baby makes me oh so happy so I’ll be okay
I may not have slept last night (last night)

Amazon Prime Day was on July 11th and 12th and now, our credit cards are hurting! Check out the original song.
Here's Jeff's Version!
Sing A Long!
I thought that I would be able to stop shoppin’
Buying things on Amazon Prime Days
I thought that you wouldn’t check our account
If you could please just hear me out and not be mad
I never planned on buying all the crap that I bought
But then I saw Andie’s Prime Day deals
Well, all I can say is that I blacked out
I got kind of careless with our card.
All the prime deals
All the big steals
Buying all those TVs, half off it’s not real
I don’t need them
But I hit send
I guess all I’m sayin’ is forgive me
If I don’t know how much I’m spendin’
I’m addicting to the shoppin’
July 6th, 2023 - "Need A Favor" About Being The Only One In The Office
What an amazing song and a VERY relevant topic. This is the reality for a lot of XTU Nation right now, coworkers down the shore on vacation and you’re left at work alone!
Here’s the original!
Here's Jeff's Version Of Jelly Roll
If you’re the only person at work, you’re not alone!
Sing A Long!
I’m the only one that’s here because it’s summer
Cause I do not own a shore house, that’s a bummer
So, I am sitting here, I ain’t got a beer,
Cause I’m workin’, oh oh
I’m the only one that’s here because it’s summer
my God, that is a bummer.
I know I gotta work, so I can afford my mortgage
But I would rather be at a pool with the ladies they looking gorgeous
Out of office emails only message I get back from my cohorts
Shouldn’t have used all my days, to go tailgate in January
I only am alone at work in summer,
It’s about as fun as butt crack on a plumber,
But I’m in the office, problems I fix
While everyone is tannin’, oh oh
Will they even know if I decide I’m leavin’
Oh yeah, I’ll leave at ten!

Safe travels down the shore!!
Sing Along Here!
You got a fast car
I want go down the shore today
Manco Manco pizza please
Maybe together, we can go to Jer-say
Ain’t no place that’s better
When you’re down the shore, ain’t got no shoes
Maybe we’ll see Lucy
Morey’s Piers, holding hands with you
[wait]
You gotta call work
Tell ‘em that you’re sick so we can partay
At least for the kids it is summer
Let’s leave right now just me and BAE
[wait]
So I remember we were drinking, drinking on the pier,
It wasn’t Ocean City, there you can’t have a beer.
Bikini bods laid out before me and then there’s Donnie in a speedo looking corny
And I, I, gonna be back for Tidal Wave
I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, or meet someone, and have some fun
June 15th, 2023 - "Watching You" For Father's Day
This great song from Rodney Atkins is already one of the best father-child songs out there but did Jeff just make it better??
Here’s the original…
Jeff's Version With His Dad On The Phone!
Jeff sang about becoming a new dad (baby due August 2023) and knowing what to do thanks to HIS dad. Naturally, Andie got his dad on the line to enjoy it.
Sing-A-Long
I remember when it was dad and Jeffrey
He asked me “what do you want to be?”
Knowing that I would probably say
Baseball star or astronaut
I took a quick second and I thought with my mind
I knew the answer and I was only nine
I was a bit embarrassed but I gotta tell him he is my dad.
I told him “you’re the best, and you’re my hero”
He thought I might want to cover the Orioles
So I said dad, it’s not that, let’s have a chat
I want to be a dad, yeah just like you
Have a kid that loves me like I love you
Go out and play catch, movies on the couch like we did
I’m a bit nervous but I shouldn’t be
Cause my dad taught me everything I would need
I wanna be the best dad there can be
Wanna be a dad like you
June 8th, 2023 - The Smoke From Canada With Jordan Davis
Jordan Davis is an absolute HIT MACHINE!! He can’t be stopped. Here’s the original.
Here's Jeff's Version About The Smoke
Sing Along Here!!
You swear that you’re going running, then there was smoke
Ghost your date at the bar cause there was smoke
It’s just a fire, and it’s in Quebec
It’s so far away, that it won’t affect
The Phillies game, that was postponed
It’s the air quality, because of the smoke
Smells a bonfire up in this place
Close up your windows, shirt covers your face
Because of smoke
You find excuses like never before
Just to ditch your friends and stay indoors
Couch or bed just not up on the porch
This ain’t pandemic it’s smoke
The sky is toast
Man it smells bad just like when
That I, find myself cooking in the kitchen
But there’s, hope that we’ll see sky again
Down the shore hopefully this weekend
But now there’s smoke
June 1st, 2023 - The End Of The School Year

Here’s the original…
Here's Jeff's Version
XTU Nation has deemed this one the BEST one to date. What do you think?
Sing A Long!
If I could throw a party on Memorial Day
I’d invite a bunch of vets who fought for the USA
We’d remember those we lost fighting for this country
And we’d crack open beers last Monday of May
Miller Lite!!
Burgers, dogs, go head take a bite
Yeah, I might as well have another,
This where I like to spend my time
Thinkin’ ’bout those heroes that made the big sacrifice
So we can be free here in our paradise
I’m drunk and I’m swimming, with whiskey on ice.
My friends and my family, the best is my Emily,
We’re all very friendly and it’s all in the memory
Of all those we lost this Memorial Day,
I never have to wonder if we’re free, USA!
We’d be, [pause] hanging out just at pool, man this weather beautiful
You ain’t happy you a fool
Thinkin’ ’bout those heroes that made the big sacrifice
So we can play Yahtzee at home with our dice
Church on the weekends, on Sunday look nice.
It’s all cause of heroes, soldiers that our God knows,
GI Janes, GI Joes, we salute you and guitar solo!
May 18th, 2023 - George Strait's Birthday And Summer!
We had to pull out a classic this week to honor the KING of country music, George Strait.
Here's Jeff Mashing George Strait and Bikini Season
Sing-A-Long
I’m feeling heavy this mornin’
Oh no, winter’s gone!
Gotta squeeze my fat butt in
This suit my thighs looks wrong
When that Sun is out
It makes me pout
I’ll be liftin’ at the gym today
Feeling heavy this mornin’
Swimsuit body ain’t okay.
Take a look at my love handles,
It looks like a spare tire
My body just ain’t ready
To sing in a shirtless choir
But I’ll be lookin’ just fine
Cause my smile’ll shine
And I hope that
Neighbors are kind.
Feeling heavy this mornin’
Trust me, nobody minds
May 11th, 2023 - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND!
Jeff was tasked with singing some Carrie Underwood, perfect cause she’s a great mom!
Here's Jeff's Version
Sing Along!
This one goes out to all of the mothers
Kids midnight scream and cry in bed
You step on a LEGO and another,
But you make it to them, kiss on their head
When you don’t hear a noise, swear you say “oh boy”
And you run to come find your kid
Making you a card, with glitter and stars
Carpet ruined it’s morbid
I wanna say it’s Mother’s Day
Even when they throw up, they want to hug Mo-may
Through good days and bad, through parties and sad
To all the mom’s, you are the bomb
Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day!

I went and bought a baby yoda and a big a case of beer
Drop my butt right on the sofa, Disney Plus real loud my neighbors can hear
Watchin’ all the movies, oh yeah, one at a time
Gonna see if I can make it through The Last Jedi
May the fourth be with you, and also to you throughout the year.
Greedo and Han Solo, who shot first, oh we don’t know.
But we do know today is our day
If you like the first trilogy, more than what’s come recently
It don’t matter cause it’s the fourth of May
After you watch every movie and felt all the highs and the lows
The party always continues, cause tomorrow’s cinco de mayo!

We got pick 30, and we also got pick ten
It’s the NFL Draft, pickin’ up rookies again.
Will we trade em? Give a pick so we don’t spend
All of our money Super Bowl is the end
New football season is in Philly it’s a hoagie not a roll
Another big year for the birds, feel it in all our souls
It’s Jalen Hurts ride or die, TDs not field goals
Yeah, it might be April, but we want a Super Bowl.
Jason Kelce he is back, he never seems to get old,
Yeah, it might be April, but we want a Super Bowl.

Flower shops have been waitin’
For this month because now it’s prom season’
Call the dentist, must get rid of my braces
Lots of pictures
I just gotta go ask her we could go together
Get to her front door then I meet her mom and father
He’s holding, a shotgun…
Because it’s prom and I’m nervous
Dancing leave room for Jesus
Boo-ton-ear how do I pin this?
Can your mom help us please?
Will I get my first kiss?
Or heartbreak I get ditched
Damn, I’m so nervous
Maybe I’ll be prom king?
Will this be the best night of my life?
Because it’s prom and I’m nervous

He said, “no way these fans are nuts.”
Drives him crazy says they’re just too much,
She said, “bye, good luck!”

All the Swifties say, “go get… out”
She’s ours again, yeah that’s right.
And now we right there beside her hot girl summers on
We all are prayin’ that she starts to date Zac Efron!!!
But when we say Joe Alwyn
I bet you think, “oh who’s that guy?”
Dated T-Swift till she said “bye!”
Now Swifties boycott his one film
When you think that she’s the best
You’re probably right but who is next?
Maybe she’ll be come the bachelorette
Oh that’s dramatic T-V!
When you think Taylor Swift
You forget Joe Somebody.

After three days
He rose from the dead, rose from the dead
We celebrate
With Easter eggs, with Easter eggs
Almost Sunday! Where’s the bunny?
He’s getting out to lay all of those eggs
With some cash and candy
Yeah, we can decorate
Just dye those eggs with your family
Or maybe we can make a lamb cake
Sounds great, ah yeah
Take you to Easter with fam-ly
Church Sunday morning with me
Kisses from cute old ladies
Pinch your cheeks like your a baby
And then it’s when the sun sets
We drink wine and toast Jesus
You’ll never wanna miss it
And never wanna not be
At Easter with my fam-ly
At one we watch the Phillies

Baseball is back in Philly guys.
Oh yeah, this year will be fun
We were oh so close last season
But this is our year and I’ll give you a few reasons
Turner, Kyle, Bryce and of course Bohm
When a run scores at the bank
It’s like a yeungling cracked with your best mate
We’re all their cheering on our guys
Even in the heat of July
Like a left field homerun from Hall
Followed up by a big SCHWAR-BOMB
Phillies, we missed you and baseball
This offseason’s is going, going, gone

Everybody’s asking what the hell happened
When they see my face all puffy
Like I always say, “It’s allergy season
That is why my nose is so stuffy”
And I’ve got only one good nostril, I could use some soup.
So I’m gonna complain gotta headache in my brain
But I’ll tell you oh wait AACHOO!
Need a tissue, it’s the worst, just load me in the hearse
This could be my last day on earth,
Nasal drip down my throat, not to mention all the bloat
People say it’s worse than child b irth
Cause I’ve gotta man cold, I’ll tell you the hell that I’m going through.
I feel like this is the end, my sinuses in my head
The worst allergies AKA dead!

What’s goin’ on, weather?
Thought we’re in this together.
It hasn’t snowed in a year.
Hopin’ for precipitation
No snow days for our children
I miss my post shovel beer.
PJs inside out, trying all the tricks,
We need a big big storm like it’s ’96
Where is the snow?
I can’t make Frosty with mud and leaves noooo
I need a Twenty Ten Snowmaggedon
Where did it all go?
I think it all got wasted back in Buffalo…

The clouds are just acting dumb
Don’t they know we really want a storm
Where is the snow? Ain’t nobody know? Where is the snow?

But they’re not the only ladies in this song
I gotta make a list
Great women, Mrs. or Miss.
I gotta think about the all time best
Like Rosa Parks, Queen Elizabeth,
Those everyone knows,
They beat out all the bros.
Amelia Earhart
Georgia O’keefe with her art
These ladies they paved the way
For all the girls that are alive today!
We’ve got an awesome gal that is Shannon!
Then Andie Summers we’re all a big fan and
Let’s not forget about all the grand champions
All the moms out there getting by
Do it better than a guy.

What do you think Parmalee will think about this one? Here are the lyrics.
Ash Wednesday, I was there last night,
Lent’s begun time to make things right,
What should I give up this year?
Help me out, should it be beer?
I hope you don’t think that I have a problem,
I just really like to scroll
On my phone all night, bright light in my sight
But no more of my phone that’s the goal
Maybe you, want to take something on
Donate blood, become a donor, shoutout Bob
Yeah, don’t be snacking at my work
Jen says it’s the worst, what are you giving up this year?
Take my ham, and you can take my cheese,
I’m through eatin’ deli meats
Never been so fit before
Only forty days? I’ll take forty more!
Take my chocolate, baby, take my wine
No just kidding, I’m a mom of five
I need all of those things to survive.
Take my kids for just one night.
Take my kids for just one night.
Take my kids for just one night.

Yeah, I’ve been hearin’ it from my boss
Yeah you know I’ve had enough.
I’m going crazy
Weekend save me
Car on the highway
Finally it’s Friday
But I couldn’t ask for more
Wait, presidents worth thanking God for
So, thank Lincoln
Cause Monday we don’t have to go to work
And thank Teddy
Cause now you won’t answer emails from that jerk
And thank Kennedy,
Cause now you can chill out with your dog,
All weekend long yeah it’s the bomb, so’s this song
Thank God President’s Day!
Thank God
Thank God for the USA!

And Here's Jeff's Version!
Sing along with the lyrics!
I love a first sip of my beer glass the O line’s album on
It may be Christmas but I won’t miss this Super Bowl jawn.
I love the matchup of the brothers Travis versus Jason
Kansas City Chiefs and the Eagles man this’ll be fun
And I love a first down in a desert town with goal to go
And I love a Hurts juke, defense is spooked, ha ha you’re too slow.
And I love a party with my family and the drinks they flow,
Philly, this game won’t even be close
The way that it feels, AJ Brown catches a T-D
The way that we dance when the Birds win on T-V
Hey do you remember, Super Bowl win, twenty-eighteen
I can hear now our defense say, “we’re going to disney”
And Patrick Mahomes and his bro going home to some sadness,
I can’t imagine that feeling, we’ll win this
Back ninety years, our team they broke ground
When they fly back to our happy town,
Super Bowl champs we will crown.
