An Alabama football version of the hit song ‘Last Christmas’ is our gift to you! And a huge apology to Wham! for what we’ve done to it, too.
This parody was made out of love. I’m really, really sorry, Mr. George Michael!:
(Read as if Alabama football head coach Nick Saban wrote the song)
Last Christmas, I gave Kiffin my offense
But the very next week he gave FAU a peek.
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave Kiffin my QB
But the very next week he gave him a deke.
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give him to someone special.
Once bitten and twice shy.
I keep my distance
But he still tries to catch my eye.
Tell me, Kiffin
Why you tryin’ to troll me?
Well, it’s been a year
It doesn’t surprise me.
(Merry Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, “Don’t screw up, ” I meant it.
Now, I know what a fool I’ve been.
But if you kissed my butt now
I know you’d fool me again.
Last New Year, I gave Kiffin the Peach Bowl
But the very next day he gave it away.
This Sugar Bowl, to save my real goal
I’ll give it to someone special.
Last New Year, I gave Kiffin a chance
But the very next day he pissed it away.
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to Brian Daboll.
A crowded locker room, players with bright eyes
Happy to be rid of Kiffin, and his playbook of ice.
My god, I thought he was someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a sucker to freeload on.
A freshman on a win streak with a fire in his heart.
An offense at its peak, but you tore it apart.
Now, I’ve found a real OC, you’ll never fool me again.
Last Christmas, I told Kiffin to balance
But the very next day he made Hurts do one play
This year, to save fans from tears
I better see something special.
Last Christmas, I gave Kiffin my heart
But the very next day he threw it away.
This year, to save me from tears
Harris should be running special.
Next: Bama Bucket List - 25 things all Tide fans must do
A focus on a rusher with a fire in his heart.
A balanced coordinator, so don’t tear it apart.
Therefore this year we’ll win it with Daboll
Kiffin can’t even run my specials.
