The Lazar Song

Sung to the tune of "B I N G O"
Lyrics by Robb Van Eck

There was a coach who paid a kid, And LAZAR was his name-O. L-A-Z-A-R L-A-Z-A-R L-A-Z-A-R And LAZAR was his name-O, There was a coach who paid a kid, And LAZAR was his name-O.

(Clap)-A-Z-A-R
(Clap)-A-Z-A-R
(Clap)-A-Z-A-R
And LAZAR was his name-O.

There was a coach who paid a kid,
And LAZAR was his name-O.

(Clap)- (Clap)-Z-A-R
(Clap)- (Clap)-Z-A-R
(Clap)- (Clap)-Z-A-R
And LAZAR was his name-O.

There was a coach who paid a kid,
And LAZAR was his name-O.

(Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)-A-R
(Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)-A-R
(Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)-A-R
And LAZAR was his name-O.

There was a coach who paid a kid,
And LAZAR was his name-O.

(Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)-R
(Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)-R
(Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)-R
And LAZAR was his name-O.

There was a coach who paid a kid,
And LAZAR was his name-O.

(Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)
(Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)
(Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)- (Clap)

And LAZAR was his name-O.

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.
