THE ANIMALS OF SECTION B
Section B Online (www.sectionb.com)
DICK HOWSER STADIUM
Tallahassee, FL USA
Dear ANIMALS:
FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLE BASEBALL is built on tradition and pride. Our Goal is to do our best to
continue the tradition that was started in 1948. I want to thank each one of you for bearing the construction over the
past year. As we head into the 2004 season, I want to continue to provide the best atmosphere in the best stadium
in college baseball.
SEMINOLE BASEBALL fans have a reputation throughout the country as being the most knowledgeable, classy
and unique in college baseball, and THE ANIMALS have become an "institution" at Dick Howser Stadium. Your
constant support, endless enthusiasm and class are sincerely appreciated. It is especially nice to have the support of
THE ANIMALS on the road! In every city we play, Seminole fans always support our team, and our players
appreciate each and every one of them.
As you know, we have worked hard, within university guidelines, to provide you support. Local businesses have
provided their financial support to THE ANIMALS to keep the tradition going. We are sure, with your “wit and
wisdom”, you can voice your approval towards your "sponsors" during the course of the season...as well as
patronize them during the year.
The popularity of the Section B website keeps a lot of Seminole baseball fans and parents from all over the world
connected together. We all have a common goal of having a positive baseball environment that makes us all proud.
This service you provide helps keep Seminole Baseball only a touch of a computer mouse away!
The players, coaching staff and administration appreciate THE ANIMALS OF SECTION B. We want you to
have fun, enjoy the games, pull for the SEMINOLES, and continue to keep it clean and classy!
Sincerely,
# 11

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ANIMALS OF SECTION B
It was twenty-six years ago the Animals first came into existence. Twenty-six years since a
group of FSU baseball fans threw stale donuts back at FSU’s #1 Fan, Sol Carroll. Twenty-six years
since Sol christened these rowdy fans as ‘The Animals’. Who are these fans? Are they really as storied
as their reputation makes them out to be? First, a little history:
When Seminole Field, later Howser Stadium, opened in 1983, the Animals took roost in Section
B, and have stayed there ever since. The Animals consist of students, alumni, business people, families,
public servants, and anyone else who has a deep passion for Florida State Baseball. The Animals use
intimidation through noise to rattle the visiting team's psyche. We use cheers and songs to help get our
crowd and team into the game, and the visitor's out of theirs.
We have worked hard to establish a reputation for originality, positive energy, general zaniness,
and of the #1 cheering section in college baseball. We always attempt to show sportsmanship, and
routinely congratulate opposing players and teams when a good play is made (though not too much of
course).
ESPN, Sports Illustrated, The Sporting News Online, Seminole Uprising, The Mike Martin
Show, WTXL 27, WCTV 6, Fox SportsSouth, The Tallahassee Democrat, The Florida Times Union,
FSView, The Last Word, Gainesville Sun, Durham Herald Sun and Wakulla Digest have all done
features on the Animals. The Baseball Heckle Depot website even inducted the Animals of Section B
into their Hall of Fame in the fall of 1999. ESPN has called us a class act, echoing the statements of
many opposing fans, players, and coaches. The Animals have even been interviewed on WFLA 1270
and WTAL 1450 radio stations here in Tallahassee. Recently, ESPNet Sportszone even called The
Animals "The best college baseball cheering section in the country." In 2003, the Animals made
national news by singing “God Save the Queen” instead of “O Canada”, with a syndicated article being
carried all around the country. In addition, radio show host, Bill O’Reilly even talked about the Animals
last season on his national radio show.
Each year since 2000, the Animals have been presented with awards from the Florida State
University Alumni Association for their hard work and endless spirit while supporting Florida State.
In recent years, the Animals website, Section B Online (www.sectionb.com) has begun
generating hundreds of thousands of hits per month and is the premier source of Florida State Baseball
on the Internet. An ever-growing e-mail list provides up-to-date news, information, and game stories to
3000+ subscribers that include everyone from journalists to players to coaches to parents of players and
even fans of rival schools. Game stories written by members of the Animal section can also be found on
Warchant.com (www.warchant.com).
We hope you enjoy these cheers, songs, and FSU Trivia. Now, there is no excuse for not
participating and helping us generate even more enthusiasm for our Seminole Baseball team.
GO NOLES!!!!

TRADITIONAL
THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER
Melody:
The Star-Spangled Banner
Lyrics By:
Francis Scott Key
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous flight
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
(and the lesser known second verse)
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes
What is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream.
`Tis the Star-Spangled Banner, Oh long may it wave
(and the even lesser known third verse)
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and country, shall leave us no more?
Their blood was washed out their foul foot steps pollution
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave.
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave
(what? There's a fourth verse?)
Oh thus be it e'er when free men shall stand
Between their lov'd homes and war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that has made and presrv'd us a nation
And conquer we must when our cause is just
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave

O’ CANADA
Melody:
O’ Canada
Lyrics By:
Mr. Justice Robert Stanley Weir
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love,
In all our sons command.
With glowing hearts,
We see thee rise,
The True North strong and free;
And stand on guard,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada!
Glorious and free!
We stand on guard,
We stand on guard for thee!
O Canada!
We stand on guard for thee!
Note: Please don't give us any B.S. about the lyrics…
"the version that gained the widest currency was made in 1908 by Robert Stanley Weir, a lawyer and at the time Recorder of
the City of Montréal. This is the version which was published in an official form for the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation in
1927, and has since been generally accepted in English speaking Canada."

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME
Melody:
Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Lyrics By:
Jack Norworth, 1908
Take me out to the ballgame,
Take me out to the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks.
I don’t care if I ever get back.
Cause it’s root, root, root for the home team.
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out,
At the old ballgame.
A view from Section B
Note: One day when Norworth was riding a New York City subway train, he spotted a sign that said "Ballgame Today at the
Polo Grounds." Some baseball-related lyrics popped into his head that were later set to some music by Albert Von Tilzer. It
is one of the most widely sung songs in America.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
Melody:
God Save The Queen (My Country ‘Tis of Thee)
Lyrics By:
Historically Controversial
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen.
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen!
Note: Yes, there are an additional 5 verses of the official British version. However, given that FSU Baseball would almost
certainly be considered an “unofficial event” in the eyes of the British, the first verse should be appropriate.

Lyrics By:
Dr. Tommy Wright
You’ve got to fight, fight, fight for FSU,

So fight, fight, fight, fight to victory,
The Seminoles of Florida State.

TAKE ME OUT OF THIS BALLGAME
Melody:
“Take Me Out To The Ballgame”
Lyrics By:
The Animals
Take me out of this ballgame,
Take me out of here now.
Put someone in who can throw the ball.
My curve is flat and I can’t get a call.
So it’s hit, hit, hit for the home team.
My E.R.A. is a shame.
For it’s one, two, three runs are in,
And I pray for rain.
Be afraid…Be very afraid!
Note: The Animal’s perennial #1 hit, sung here at Howser Stadium, Florida’s McKethan Stadium-Perry Field, Georgia Tech's
Russ-Chandler Stadium, Knight’s Castle, Omaha, and everywhere else we’ve belted it out. We sing this song when we deem
a pitcher worthy, usually after he surrenders 3 or more runs (or multiples of 3).
THE ANIMALS FIGHT SONG
Melody:
The FSU Fight Song
Lyrics By:
Dr. James Brey, PhD
You've got to score more runs for F-S-U,
You've got to scalp 'em, Seminoles.
You've got to get them out, to win this game,
And step right up and hit homeruns.
For F-S-U is on the warpath now, And with the
final pitch we'll win.
So strike, strike, strike, strike, strike them out.
The Seminoles of Florida State.
F-L-O-R-I-D-A S-T-A-T-E,
Florida State, Florida State, Florida State!
WOOO!
Everybody! 1!…2!…3!…

THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE ANIMALS
Melody:
Battle Hymn of the Republic
Lyrics By:
John Armstrong
Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the scoring of the 'Noles;
If you think you will beat us
Then you're nothing more than fools;
The Gaytors, 'Canes, the ACC,
And every other school;
The 'Noles will beat you all.
Chorus:
Glory, glory to the 'Noles
Glory, glory to the 'Noles
Glory, glory to the 'Noles,
And to hell with ( )
You'll leave this game with broken
Pride and eyes swelled up with tears;
With fans so loud our shouting
Causes ringing in your ears;
Our bats are strong your pitcher's weak,
Your hearts are filled with fear;
The 'Noles keep marching on.
What's wrong with this picture?
(Chorus)
Note: Insert a three-syllable opponent’s name, such as Georgia Tech, UNC, NC State, Florida, Miami, UVA…

The Animals

Batting, batting, practice

Lots of hits, lots of hits.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh…
(Refrain)
Will the 'Noles get lots of runs?
Yes, the 'Noles will get lots of runs.
Lots of runs, lots of runs.

YO-HO, YO-HO (A PIRATE’S LIFE FOR ME)
Music By:
George Bruns
Lyrics By:
Xavier Atencio
Yo ho yo ho a pirate’s life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up me ‘earties yo ho!
We kidnap and pillage and don’t give a hoot
We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack
Maraud and embezzle and even hijack
We kindle and char and inflame and ignite
We burn up the city, we’re really a fright
We’re rascals, and scoundrels, and villains, and knaves
We’re devils and black sheep and really bad eggs
HOW MUCH IS THAT BATGIRL?
Melody:
“How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?”
Lyrics By:
The Animals
How much is that batgirl in the aisle?
Woof! Woof!
The one with the waggely tail.
How much is that batgirl in the aisle?
Woof! Woof!
I do hope that batgirl’s for sale.
Cheap! Cheap!

MAMAS, DON’T LET YOUR BABIES GROW UP TO BE BATGIRLS
Melody:
"Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys", by Ed & Patsy Bruce
Lyrics By:
The Animals
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be batgirls.
Don’t let ‘em play softball and ride the old bus.
Make ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such.
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be batgirls.
You’ll be all alone and they’ll be on the phone
With the 'Noles that ride that old bus.
THE BEER SONG
Melody:
“Take Me Out To The Ballgame”
Lyrics By:
The Animals
Take me out to the beer bash,
Take me out to the beer.
Buy me some pretzels and beer from Jax.
I don’t care if I’m flat on my back.
So it’s drink, drink, drink for the An-i-mals.
If we run out it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three kegs are down,
And we feel no pain.
Yes, it is daytime!
Note: The Animals’ official party song…when we can remember the words. Typically, this song is followed by a rousing
chorus (or two) of the Budweiser Song.
THAT HEE HAW SONG
Melody:
“That Hee Haw Song”
Where ‘O where is it going to now?
Why do they hit ev’ry thing that I throw?
I searched for a good pitch
And thought that I’d found one.
I threw another and (Bronx cheer) it was gone!
Where ‘O where is it today?
Why does it move all over the place?
I searched the plate over
And thought I’d found the strike zone
I threw another and (Bronx cheer) it was a ball!

Melody:
"Turn, Turn, Turn"
Lyrics By:
Robb Van Eck
To everything
Stall, Stall, Stall.
There is a reason
Stall, Stall, Stall.
And a time to every purpose,
Unto Martin.
A time to talk
A time to walk
A time to play with the rosin chalk
A time to delay,
I wonder if he's ready.
Note: It's like clockwork. The famous "Mike Martin Stall". So, we have a song for this too!
WE’VE BEEN YELLING AT THE UMPIRES
Melody:
“I’ve Been Working on the Railroad”
Lyrics By:
The Animals
We’ve been yelling at the umpires,
All the livelong game.
We’ve been yelling at the umpires,
Cause the strike zone’s never the same.
Did you have your eyes open?
And were they watching the ball?
We think you could use some glasses
Cause you really blew that call.
Ump, you blew that call.
Ump, you really blew that call.
Ump, you really blew that call.
Don't look over here!
Note: The umpire’s real name can be used in place of “Ump” (Bruce, Al, Joe, etc…).

Lyrics By:

O’ Omaha!
The `Noles are going there!
On to Rosenblatt, the War Chant's in the air.
With glowing bats and great defense,
Our pitching's on a tear.
And the way it's going

ANTI-FIGHT SONGS
THE NOTRE DAME MISERY MARCH
Melody:
The Notre Dame Victory March
Lyrics By:
Terry Goodwin, c. 2002
Jeer, Jeer at old Notre Dame,
Once proud tra-di-tion, now they're a-shame,
Touchdown Jesus has to cry,
Fire'd O'Leary 'cause of his lie.
Be it foot- or ba'ase- ball
Old Notre Dame will-flop once and for all,
While the SE-MI-NOLES are marching
Onward to VICTORY!!
Note: This song was written for the 2002 Super Regionals in Tallahassee vs. Notre Dame. That series happened to fall not
long after the George O'Leary "Resume Scandal" (hired by Notre Dame as their football coach, fired a week later after it was
found that he had lied on his resume). Anyway…this explains it's "football" flavor.
THE BOYS FROM OLD FLORIDA
Melody:
"We are the Boys of Old Florida"
Lyrics By:
The Animals
They are the boys from old Florida.
F-L-O-R-I-D-A
Where the girls are real butchy,
And the guys are real wussies,
Unlike any old 'Noles down our way.
Hey!!
They are the boys from old Florida,
Down where those old reptiles play.
Where they all have VD,
And they’re back on TV,
In the good old Gator way.
Hey!!
Note: Only to be sung with a large crowd. Many Gators feel the original song is sacred and get very upset when they hear
our version. (Which is why we sing it to begin with)

SWING LOW
Melody:
"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" by Harry Thacker Burleigh
Lyrics By:
The Animals
Swing low, you Florida Gaytor.
The ball is heading home.
Swing low, you Florida Gaytor.
The ball is heading home.
Ya looked up and what did ya see?
The ump was calling strike three.
Now the Animals are cheering up in Section B.
Cause you can’t hit what you can’t see.
Ya swung low, you slimy swamp lizard.
So, warm up the bus and go home.
Ya swung low, you slimy swamp lizard.
So, warm up the bus and go home.

So Wah-ah-whoo, you'll lose again,
Why do you even play!!

You'll get kicked in the rear,
We just don't like powder blue.
So go run-and-hide in Car-o-lin-a,
As Bun-ting did not long ago.
As we gather round the plate,
Watch us cheer and celebrate,
For the glory of F-S-U!!!

THE SEMINOLES
Melody:
"The Eyes of Texas"
Lyrics By:
The Se-mi-noles are gonna whip you, on the field today.
The Se-mi-noles are gonna spear you, you'd best be on your way.
Texas' best will finish second, to the Garnet and the Gold.
The Se-mi-noles are gonna beat you, another Victory!!
Note: Sadly, this tune never made it's debut in 2003. However, in the spirit of originality, and in the hopes that the `Noles
will get another shot at Texas in the future, we've decided to include it.
NERVOUS WRECK FROM GEORGIA TECH
Melody:
"Wramblin' Wreck"
Lyrics By:
Unknown, contributed by Geoff & Debbie Cryan, c. 2003
I'm a nervous wreck from Georgia Tech,
What the hell am I doing here?
The ratio is four-to-one,
And half of them are queer.
I can't afford the whiskey;
I hate the taste of beer.
I'm a nervous wreck from Georgia Tech,
What the heck am I doing here?
We've got Ribs. We've got Chow-dah.
Note: We're not real sure where the lyrics for this number originated. But, we figured it was worthy of a place in our
songbook. I do recall Geoff's other quote from that weekend in Atlanta…(in his best local accent) "I used to not could spell
Eng-ger-neer. Now I are one!"

DEFLATE THAT BIG YELLOW BUMBLEBEE
Melody:
"Yellow Submarine", by The Beatles
Lyrics By:
In the state just to the north,
There's a school…it's called GT.
Forced to play the Seminoles,
So they came to Tallahassee.
And so we played under the sun,
On a field the color green.
And they came to beat the `Noles,
But they'll leave with a defeat!
Chorus:
Deflate that big yellow bumblebee,
Yellow bumblebee,
Yellow bumblebee.
Deflate that big yellow bumblebee,
Yellow bumblebee,
Yellow bumblebee.
And the `Noles scored lots of runs,
Many more than did GT.
Fat lady, she came to sing…
(Laughing…opera singing…badly)
(Chorus)
And this game we'll win with ease,
Another win (Another Win!), in the ACC (in the ACC!!).
Sky of blue (Sky of Blue!), and field of green (Field of Green!),
The Seminoles (the `Noles!) will reign supreme (Reign Supreme!).
K-Time
(Chorus)
Note: This was inspired by the Animals attendance at the 2003 FSU v. Georgia Tech series in Atlanta. Where does "Yellow
Submarine" fit in you ask? Well, during the Saturday night game, there was one particular GT Fan who liked to make a lot of
noise…obviously trying to rally the GT fans and mock the Animals in the process…he was a rather rotund fellow, wearing a
bright yellow shirt. It works.

O’ MARYLAND
Melody:
“O Canada”
Lyrics By:
Dr. James Brey, PhD, c. 1994
O' Maryland,
Our victory is your loss!
Many strike outs,
And all thy sons make errors.
With no offense, go start the bus;
We own the A-C-C.
We’ll throw you out,
O' Maryland
We’ll throw you out you’ll see.
O' Maryland!
No relief in sight.
We’ll hit it out
We’ll hit it out of sight.
Think about what this sign says…
O' Maryland
You’ll take a loss tonight.
Note: We first sang ‘O Maryland’ in 1994, and the Maryland Athletic Director was so impressed, he wrote us a letter
thanking us, and hoping we could someday sing it in Maryland. Alas, budgetary constraints have stopped us from going, but
we always hold out hope. In 1998, we gave Honorary Animal status to Maryland Assistant-Coach Jim Flack who had been a
fan of ours since we first sang ‘O Maryland’. During game three of our series with UM a couple of years ago, he even wore
an Animals shirt under his uniform jersey. When Maryland came to town in 2000, we even treated the entire team and
coaches to dinner at Larry’s Giant Subs.

CHEERS
Many of the Animal cheers are based on game situations or plays that happen during the game. The
following is a list of some of our favorite situations explaining when we use them.
ASSORTED CHEERS
PITCHING SITUATIONS
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Rag-Arm, (clap, clap), Rag-Arm, (clap, clap), etc..
Load ‘em up Rag-Arm, Load ‘em up, (clap, clap), etc..
Walk ‘em in Rag-Arm, Walk ‘em in, (clap, clap), etc..
Take her out! Leave her in!, etc.
My Three Son’s: The theme to “My Three Sons” is sung when the third pitcher for the opposing team enters the game.
Whoop, Whoo, etc.: When a new opposing pitcher is warming up. If the catcher is throwing harder, reverse it.
RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGG AAAAARRRRMMMM!!!!
COACHING SITUATIONS
•
•
Hut, hut, hut, etc…
• These are done whenever an opposing coach comes out on the field to talk to his pitcher or argues with the umps.
You may spice up the cheer by shouting military cadence, or animal sounds for particular teams (slithers, crawl,
flap, etc…). When the coach reaches the dugout we shout “Trip, stumble, fall, boom. Damn dugout!!”
• Anything may be substituted for “dugout” including pizza boxes, honey, RAID, probation, etc…
Waaaaaaaah
• A crying baby noise is done whenever an opposing player or coach complains about nearly anything.
VISITING BATTER SITUATIONS
•
•
•
Hero or Goat
• Shout “hero or goat” when a batter is up with men in scoring position. Do goat noises after you say goat.
Rally Killer
• Shouted when the aforementioned goat makes an out that kills the scoring threat.
Come On Back
• Chanted when a batter heads towards first base when he shouldn’t and/or a batter hits a foul ball and the base
runners must return to their bases.
2004 Edition
23
GAME SITUATIONS
•
•
•
•
•
•
Circus Song
• Loudly hum the Circus Song when the opposing team makes an error. At the end of the song, say “Who are these
guys? The Bumbling Brothers!” Nearly anything can be substituted for “brothers” to fit the opposing team
(example - Julios for Miami).
N-O-L-E-S Cheer
• The NOLES cheer has historically been led by Mongo, the official mascot and spirit-leader for the Animals.
Recently is has also become a tradition that sometime during a rookie Animal’s first season, he or she must lead a
NOLES cheer in front the whole section. This will be strictly enforced.
Tequila
• The Tequila song is sung when we have men on base and need a rally. We have about a 63% success rate with this
cheer. More recently, Tequila was the theme song for FSU Infielder Jose Zabala (shouting Zabala instead of
Tequila)
War Chant
• The infamous chant stolen by the Atlanta Braves, Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Indians, Washington Redskins, and
most other sports teams with a Native-American themed mascot. Just remember…WE STARTED IT!!
Hey, Yo Mama
• Same tune as the war chant except use the words “Hey, Yo Mama”
• May also be sung in Spanish if playing Miami. “Hey, Su Madre”
K-Time
• We use this chant when an opposing player is on the verge of striking out. K being the baseball scorer’s symbol for
strikeout.
YOU MIGHT BE A BLUE DEVIL
Shots By:
Robb Van Eck, c. 1997
If your parents gave you money to paint your truck to match your bass boat and trailer...
If you've ever missed a football game to go to a basketball practice...
If you have ever listed your campus address as 4th tent in the basketball ticket line...
If you've ever got an excused absence from class to paint your body two toned blue and white...
If Phillip Morris or RJ Reynolds paid for your medical school scholarship...
If you really wanted to go to UNC but insist on wearing shoes, have all your teeth, and are
uncomfortable in overalls...
If your hunting dog is an AKC registered poodle named Fluffykins...
If you wanted to go to Vanderbilt but didn't have the grades...
If your divorce settlement includes a clause for dividing the ACC Men's Basketball Tournament
tickets...
If you've ever named a child after Dick Vitale...
If your wedding plans include a basketball pep band or cheerleaders...
If you threw a party when Dean Smith retired...
If your Ivy League school application was rejected because you use the word y'all...
If you got to a football game and wonder why they kick the 3-point shot...
If your idea of the holy trinity is The Krzyzewski, The Hurley, and The Laettner...
Note: This isn’t really a “song”, but it is hysterical! This is analogous to the “You might be a Redneck” comedy routines of
Jeff Foxworthy. The orator needs to bellow out each of the phrases, followed by the crowd yelling, “You might be a Blue
Devil!”

SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME
Melody:
"Show Me The Way To Go Home"
Lyrics By:
Irving King
Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed.
I had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it's gone right to my head.
Where-ever I may roam,
O’r land or sea or foam.
You can always hear me singin’ this song,
Show me the way to go home!
"We are the family who say, NEE!" (Nee! Nee! Nee!)
WE DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE MIAMI HURRICANES
Melody:
"The Old Gray Mare (Ain't What She Used to Be)"
Lyrics By:
The Animals, c. 2002
Oooooo…
Chorus:
We don't give a damn about the Miami Hurricanes,
The Miami Hurricanes,
The Miami Hurricanes,
We don't give a damn about the Miami Hurricanes,
They can all kiss my ass!
They can kiss my ass!
GO `NOLES!
They can kiss my ass!
GO `NOOOOOOOOOOOLES!
(Chorus)
Note: Ok folks…I know that some of you don't care for the title. I know that some of you don't care for the lyrics. This is
something we sing only one weekend per year (soon to be only one weekend every other year), and then only if the
Hurricane's manage to score. So, having said that, please don't freak out too much when (and if) we do sing it. If it bothers
you that much, plug your ears if Miami scores a run, or…pull for a shutout. For a little history, I got the inspiration for this
song from "We Don't Give a Damn About the Whole State of Michigan" as performed by The Ohio State University
Marching Band. It is their tradition to sing this at the Skull Session (pep-rally) before every home football game.

THE STRIKE ZONE
Melody:
"Show Me The Way To Go Home"
Lyrics By:
I invented my own strike zone,
Thought it up in my own little head.
I shrank it for the home team an inning ago,
I'll expand it this time instead.
Whoever stands at home,
No matter tall or gnome.
I'll shrink it this time, expand it the next,
I invented my own strike zone!!
Cheers!
This cheer was written in the middle of a game, on the back of a napkin. If memory serves (and sometimes, it doesn't), the
game in question was Game 5 of the 2003 NCAA Regional in Tallahassee, against South Alabama. FSU happened to lose
that game, and I don't recall there being a consistent strike zone from one inning to the next.
HERE COME THE `NOLES
Melody:
"God Save The Queen"
Lyrics By:
Onward to Omaha,
Off to the Promised Land,
Here come the `Noles.
Seminole victory,
Garnet & Gold are we,
To every other team,
Here come the `Noles.

MR. BASEBALL
Melody:
"Talkin' Baseball"
Lyrics By:
The Animals
He’s Mr. Baseball, He hovers round the ballpark,
Mr. Baseball, the clothes he wears are all dark.
He looks like Joe Paterno but he’s not (soft hand slaps)
He likes to pick his nose and eat the snot. (eeewww gross!)
He grabs his crotch, Oh!
Walkin’ round the park.
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah.
(One, two, three, four)
His ring around the collar…makes you wanna holler.
All his pants are ready for the flood. (soft hand slap)
And when he starts to talk,
He really pisses you off,
Cause then you’re gonna need a switch
To turn him off.
He’s Mr. Baseball, He hovers round the ballpark,
Mr. Baseball, the clothes he wears are all dark.
He looks like Joe Paterno but he’s not (soft hand slaps)
He likes to pick his nose and eat the snot. (eeewww gross!)
He grabs his crotch, Oh!
Walkin’ round the park.
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah.

HE'S A SHORT COACH
Melody:
"It's A Small World"
Lyrics By:
John Armstrong & Danielle Disston, c. 1998
It's a store full of pants with the legs too long,
It's a fair full of rides that you can't get on.
When you go out to eat,
They bring a kid's booster seat.
You're a short coach after all.
Chorus:
He's a short coach after all,
He's a short, short coach.
When they put up your sign, no one gets in free.
Except maybe some kid who is under three.
And even at two, Katie's taller than you,
You're a short coach after all.
(Chorus)
SHORT COACH
Melody:
“The Hokie Pokey”
Lyrics By:
The Animals
You put your short coach in.
You take your short coach out.
You put your short coach in,
And you shake him all about.
You do the Hokie Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That what it’s all about! CHIP BAKER!!
"I once caught a fish…"
Note: Especially sung for FSU assistant coach, Chip Baker - a man of not exactly tall dimensions. OK…he’s downright
SHORT. Let’s just say he’s vertically challenged. In August of 1999, Chip underwent hip replacement surgery to try and
make himself taller, but it didn’t work.
Special Note: “Fat Coach” may be substituted in for “Short Coach” along with that coach’s name for “Chip Baker”. We’ve
seen our share of porkers pretending to be coaches.

MAIL
Melody:
"Fins", by Jimmy Buffet
Lyrics By:
It gets sent from Cincinnati,
It takes it two days to get to Maine.
Workin' on my (third) retir'ment,
Prob'ly gonna start again.
But the perks are good...that's the reason,
I just-can't seem-to stay away.
Tried to hide allot'a ballots,
G-Dub found 'em anyway.
Gotta watch out for the anthrax,
Hope I don't con-tract smallpox.
Wish that we were still with Fed'ral,
Then I could'a got free shots.
(Chorus)
Mailed it-off-to Cal-i-for-nia,
It takes it three-days to Fullerton.
This could-make-a nice little stipend,
Hope it doesn't go-up-in smoke.
Chorus:
Can't ya tell it's Christmas time Larry,
All these boxes pilin' up.
Ya got mail to the left...mail to the right,
And you're the on-ly collator 'round.
OH NO! (Goin' Postal!)
OH NO! (DUCK!!)
But-now-I feel a lot a boredom,
Guess I should re-tire again.
'Cause-if I don't now, they-may force me out,
Somethin' 'bout a Senior Cit-i-zen.
(Chorus)
Liftin' stuff that's way to heavy,
Want that compensation pay.
Need it all for the RV,
Rolled right off the hi-i-way.
"There's nothing wrong with retiring…three times."
Note: "Scrooge", "Hippie"…whatever he is referred to as, Larry likes to boast. Be it another retirement, life at Fullerton, his
Berkley-esque behaviors and opinions, or the unfortunate travels of his RV…Larry has been there, and done that.
Occaisionally, (more often than most) Larry will "leave the door open" for one of the Animals to squeeze a jab in. This was
my contribution (one of them, anyway). Still, Larry remains a good sport!

Note: I think this one speaks for itself. We did take a little factual liberty with the opening line to each verse, but it's even
more amusing this way! Lazar Collazo was a pitching coach for the Miami Hurricanes. An NCAA infraction involving a
recruit doesn't do much for the coaching career.

Throw him strikes, Lord. Throw the ball!

HE’S A HERO AFTER ALL
Melody:
“It’s a Small World“
Lyrics By:
John Armstrong & Drew Hankin, c. 2001
Refrain:
He's a hero after all,
He's a he-ro after all
We pick on our coach,
Cause he's 5 foot 3.
And he can't hit a ball,
If it's on a tee.
On a bus by the bay,
Our short coach saved the day
He's a hero after all
(Refrain)
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no truth to the rumor that I'm standing on a ladder."
We like to kid Chip Baker about his height, his hair, his hip, and basically anything else we can think up. But on February
8th, 2001, Chip committed an heroic act that will go down as "The greatest save in FSU history". While out in Stanford for a
series with the Cardinal, the FSU bus driver had a heart attack and slumped over at the wheel while going 70 MPH on
Highway 101 along San Francisco Bay. What Chip did next is simply remarkable, as he immediately jumped into the driver's
seat and was able to control the bus and eventually bring it to a safe stop while Coach Martin was able to remove the driver's
foot from the accelerator. The driver of the bus, James Ragland, did not survive the heart attack, but thirty-five players and
staff did, and have Chip to thank for their very lives. FSU's family, friends, and fans everywhere owe you, Chip Baker, an
immeasurable debt of gratitude. Chip has since moved from the field up to the front office and is currently the Director of
Baseball Operations – but wherever he is, we’ll always remember what he did.
Here's to you Chip –

TAKE ME OUT OF THIS WEDDING
Melody:
"Take Me Out to the Ballgame"
Lyrics By:
The Animals, c. 1991
Take me out of this wedding.
Take me out of here now.
Find me a place where it’s safe to hide.
I want to back out,
And I can’t face my bride.
Sot it’s cold, cold feet for the bridegroom,
My hangover’s really a pain.
It’s one, two, three innings left
And I’m praying for rain!
Note: This song was specifically written for Chip Baker and Julie Larson who were married between games of a
doubleheader with Virginia Tech on May 7, 1991 at homeplate at Howser Stadium. The first game went into extra innings,
so it was a nerve-racking experience for all involved. CNN called it the “Play of the Day”.

J.D. AT THE BAT
Origin:
“Casey At The Bat”
Words By:
Clark Moore, c. 1997
Things were looking dismal for the Seminoles that night;
The score stood four to one with but two innings more to fight,
As Hudson ruled the hill, it seemed our pipes were turned to stone
AU'd be off to Omaha, and we'd be staying home.
The Bat Girls argued balls and strikes, the Animals led cheers
The scouts deployed their radar guns, assessing pro careers;
But confident were those of us who in the grandstands sat
That Auburn U would rue the hour J.D. next came to bat.
And true, J.D. was up on deck, but two were fast away
As Brooks Badeaux was in the box, and we began to pray
But then, our prayers were answered with the bases ripe with juice
Brooks drew ball 4, 4-2 the score…
And then, all Hell broke loose!
For all among 5,000 fans who packed the stands that hour
Unleashed as one, in unison, a sonic blast of power
3 on, two out, down two, and dwarfing even all of that,
Your Player of the Year, J.D., advancing to the bat!
The young man didn't swagger as he stepped inside the line
A solemn executioner came number thirty-nine
Large as life, a juggernaut, all pecs and delts and lats
The faith of thousands on his shoulders, Drew stepped up to bat.
And Hudson, standing on the hill, so tiny did appear
But showed no signs of worry, nor fatigue, nor even fear
Still he must have cursed the Deities, the Furies and the Fates
For loading up the sacks and putting Drew upon the plate.
38
2004 Edition
J.D. AT THE BAT
He threw the ball and stunned surprise resounded through the stands
JD stuck out the bat and shot the handle down his hands
He, bluffing at a 2-out bunt, our hands upon our heads
But Hudson's heat was off the plate; "Ball One!" the umpire said.
To the dugout shot ten thousand eyes, and deadly was their aim
As we wondered what would prompt that call in this, the title game
"A two-out sac? From J.D. Drew?!?" the crowd began to rage
But Drew regrouped, and took his stance, and once more seized the stage.
We marveled at the sight of him, the best we've ever had,
Who dined on expectations that would drive mere mortals mad
For this hour was Drew created, and the hour was his, we knew-But again, the pitch was off the plate. The umpire cried, "Ball Two!"
Tension mounted on the field, and elsewhere in the place
As sparks flew off our hero's bat, sweat formed on Hudson's face
A walk would bring up Morris, and another run would score,
But you somehow got the feeling Drew would never see ball four.
And Hudson fires at 2 and 0, as Drew uncoils the steel
The bunt charade now cast aside, the moment thus reveals:
As bat meets ball, metallic thunder crashes through the night
And history plays out beneath the blazing grandstand lights.
In Baton Rouge, Miami, and in Tuscaloosa, too,
Their eyes are aimed upon the prize, their fans are born anew
In Starkeville, Palo Alto, and Los Angeles they shout,
But it's quiet in Tallahassee--J.D. Drew has grounded out.
Note: This didn’t come from the Animals, but we felt it was worthy enough to be included in our songbook. This poem
was re-written by Clark Moore following the FSU/Auburn game during the 1997 NCAA Regionals.

THE TECH SERIES OF MAY 2003
Melody:
“The Battle of New Orleans”
Lyrics By:
In May 2003 we took a little trip,
Up-to Atlanta Georgia,
Up the Interstate a bit.
We brought ourselves a grill and we bought ourselves
some beer,
We found the Yellow Jackets and their stadium was near.
Chorus:
The `Noles swung their bats and they just started scorin'.
The Jackets couldn't pitch and their coach began to cry.
The `Noles scored some more and Tech was-a trailin',
Hangin' their heads 'cause they knew they 'd never win.
`Noles stared down their batters,
And the Jackets couldn't hit.
There wasn't much they could do save sulk their yellow
heads and sit.
Heard so much about 'em, thought we'd feel a sting,
But this is Georgia Tech so ain't no way we'll feel a
thing!
Chorus 2:
Tech ran out of that ballpark,
Not stoppin' for a second,
'Cause the `Noles were on their heels makin'
sure they didn't slow.
They ran so far and made it to Savannah,
They ain't Yellow Jackets, Yellow Chickens
don't ya know?
The `Noles hit home-runs and they pitched the
ball so well,
At the end of day three another `Nole victory
was ours.
The Garnet and Gold in the stands cheered in
celebration,
We knew Eleven was thrilled as he gave us a
NOLES Cheer!
(Chorus)
(Chorus 2)
(Chorus)
"Eleven" looked up, grinnin' from ear to ear,
'Cause the `Noles had played all out, another series win
this year.
We cheered and yelled and got all over Watchko,
Then we ragged on that big guy who ate the yellow
submarine!
(Chorus)
"Hold it Gov-nah! You're not Brit-ish!"

YOU SHOULD CALL ME AL
Melody:
"Call Me Al", by Paul Simon
Lyrics By:
Man walks out to the mound
He says, why is my stuff getting hammered now,
Why is my stuff getting hammered
Been painting the corners so well.
This is my career opportunity,
I want to go professional
Don’t want to end up a lifer
In the rookie bus-leagues
Round-tripper, Round-tripper.
Tattooed my fastball,
Sailing past that outfield wall.
Mr. Umpire, Umpire
Call that outside strike for me,
Then I might not get my stuff abused all afternoon!
Man walks up to the plate
Hey says, why am I 0-for-3 today.
Can’t let myself go 0-for-4 this game.
I’ll end up riding the pine!
I deserve more than this,
There is no strike zone.
Got to protect the plate
Now that the umpire has called
Strike, Strike
Stepped out of the batter’s box
I coulda’ swore that last pitch was way outside
Called Strike-Three, Strike-Three
I stood with disbelief and horror,
I stood with a really blank stare.
Chorus:
If you argue any call,
You can hit the showers pal.
Call it like I see it,
And next time when you argue,
You should call me Al!
(Chorus)

PUSH JUST ONE MORE TIME
Melody:
"The Longest Time", by Billy Joel
Lyrics By:
Chorus:
Whoa, oh, oh, oh,
Push just one more time!
Whoa, oh, oh,
Do-you know how much longer this should take?
Twenty minutes more for goodness sake!
Maybe she’ll jump out!
Kicking, crying, thrown’ her voice out!
Heard someone say “Jen push just one more time!”
We went to the hospital last night,
Waiting for a baby birth all right.
We didn’t need to,
We’re all real tired now too,
Trey was pacing right from the start.
But Jen didn’t care,
She was knocked out.
Now we know Trey didn’t have to fret.
Jen had this in the bag,
And soon all will be over.
Once we all felt hunger setting in.
Found the cafeteria open.
That was a mis-take
Had time to just take a food break
Whoa, oh, oh, oh,
Whoa, oh, oh,
Push just one more…
Then just after one-eighteen AM,
Lora-Elizabeth, she was born.
Another Thaxton,
Mom & Dad could not be more proud!
(Chorus)
We were all just sitting in the hall,
Trey came out to announce to us all,
Just twenty minutes,
Gave Jen the epidural.
Maybe this won't last very long.
Trey said once or twice,
Should not be too long.
Maybe Jen’s been trying to hard.
But she’s come this far,
And we hope she’s not tired.

RUNNIN' WITH THE BIG DOGS
Melody:
"Runnin' With The Devil", by Van Halen
Lyrics By:
I'll drink some beer 'til it's outta style,
Drink 'til I no longer feel!
And if I've got, to drain my bladder,
I know, Pappy's truck has got a wheel!
Runnin' With The Big Dogs
I'd found that beer and pork, mix real well,
'Til I puked it, on the ground.
It's 'bout that time, to go to the game,
Has anybody got anymore Gold?
(Break String)
You know there's, Phil & Pappy, Nolezilla & JD (WOOOO!)
Fester's there, puffin' away!!
Got no more, room in my mixer
Time to pour out, this worthless ice!!

LETTER FROM THE ZOOKEEPER
Welcome back. For those of you who don't know, my name is Drew Hankin, and I am the
Zookeeper of the Animals of Section B. With the help of assistants, Shannon Glusko, Robb Van Eck,
Terry Goodwin, and Chris Nee, I run the best cheering section in all of college baseball.
With the stadium expansion, The Animals had the opportunity to grow in 2003, and that growth
brought in some much-needed new blood to the section. That trend is continuing this year, and I'm
encouraged for the future of the Animals because of it. The question I get asked time and time again, is
'How do I join the Animals?' The answer is easy - simply (try to) sit with us during games and make
your presence known. Participate in our cheers and songs, show up to our Animal Events, and let us
know that you would like tickets in the future. While we do have a small waiting list, there's usually
enough turnover to fill requests for the next season.
The main purpose of the Animals is to support Florida State Baseball in a "unique", yet "clean
and classy" manner. What this means is, if you're going to sit with us, and call yourself an Animal, you
had better be prepared to contribute. This means yelling when the rest of yell, standing when the rest of
us stand, and basically supporting the team and school in a positive way. We don't have rules in Section
B, only traditions.
Although the Animals are not an officially sanctioned organization of Florida State University,
we do appreciate the support of the entire baseball program and members of the FSU administration.
There are a few people who I'd like to mention by name: Dave Hart Jr., Charlie Carr, Jeff Purinton,
Marian Lee, Lee Bowen, Jim Crosby, Mike and Carol Martin, Sandy Hough, and especially Chip Baker.
As I'm sure most of you know, I'm also the Webmaster of Section B Online
(www.sectionb.com), which is quite simply, the premiere site on the internet for Florida State Baseball
information. I also run a 3000+ member email list dedicated solely to FSU baseball. I've put a lot of
work into the site and I'm always looking for new ideas, and ways to improve it, so please don't hesitate
to contact me if you've got something you think might be good for the site.
Finally, I would like to thank all of you for helping to make the Animals, as ESPN calls us, "The
best college baseball cheering section in the country."

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Greetings Seminole Fans!
Thank you for picking up a copy of the Official Songbook of "The Animals of Section B"…the
cheers behind some of the best fans, in the best facility, of the best team in college baseball. I hope that
you enjoy the songs, chants, and humor contained herein!
I volunteered to take the reigns of the songbook this season, and as a result, you may notice a
few changes…not to mention the addition of new tunes inspired by the events and persons of the past
few seasons. But, the classics still remain! A number of the new songs are "jabs" at particular
individuals (most of them, Animals), so you may not quite understand the humor behind them…but
believe me…they are meant to be funny!
Of course, not everyone finds the humor or antics of the Animals to be funny or even
appropriate. Please know that when we're not trying to amuse ourselves, we are trying to cheer on the
`Noles, or psych-out the opposition. We'll be the first (usually) to bark and howl at poor sportsmanship
or a bad call (as we see it), but we'll also be the first to applaud and cheer on a great play or great
accomplishment by any player (except for maybe one from Miami or Florida!).
All that I ask is this — if you should find yourself disagreeing with something that we've said or
done, bring your concerns to my attention. At the very least, I'll hear you out…I can promise you that!
However, please understand that, although we do make efforts to police ourselves, we can't please
everyone. Our primary purpose is to support the team, and to that end, we will continue to do what the
team and coaches appreciate!
Thanks again for picking up a songbook. With your support, and the support of our sponsors, we
can continue what has become a 26-year tradition!
Best of luck to the Seminoles for a successful season!
GO 'NOLES!
