Newman Rap

Many of you have already seen it on YouTube, or, if you were lucky enough, live in concert at FRPSC (Frizzell Room - Pasquerilla Spirtual Center, of course). Here it is again, and this time I've included the official™ lyrics! Kudos to Bridget who was my funkalicious free-stylin' friend in rap. Oh, and the lyrics about me were NOT in the script; Bridget put them in without my foreknowledge. Click for the original YouTube page.



Word... to our mother.

Now listen up all you Catholics
We sometimes rap to get our kicks
This misconception we’d like to fix
Because rap is approved by Pope Benedict

Newman club is here for your formation
Nathan Dadey is the leader of our Catholic nation
he’s fun
he’s cool
and he dresses so fine
He’s so wonderful I wish he was mine

Blake Hamilton is a different man
he’s vice-president and the guy with a plan
At first glance he might seem quite weird
But you really gotta love that laugh and that beard

Go on my computer and open webmail
There’s Newman News – it’s there without fail
I like to look at all the pretty colors
The best part of Lauren is how she loves others

Have you met Chris Iannuzzi?
When I see him he makes me woozy!
He’s at RecHall playing racquetball
He’s so good looking I wish he was tall!
On the court he thinks he’s all that
But he gets owned as a matter of fact.

Melanie always sings in the highest key
Sometimes it is too much for me
Jammin’ up there with Luke and Chris
This part of the meeting you cannot miss.

Joe Swearman always talking about philosophy
And theology of the body

[Dance break for Jesus]

Our religious ed chair is Ryan Heiser
He always tries to make us wiser
He belongs on the board like pepper with salt
But only because he won by default.

A small blond man walks in the room
He’s just as pure as from the womb
When he walks by all the girls say “Yo”
Who is this guy? It’s Marc Paveglio!

Katie’s the girl to meet and greet
Come to Newman diner and with her you’ll eat
Katie McHale is always socializing
but when she’s not, she’s apologizing

[Our Lady interlude]

Bill Buchko is a guy who everybody loves
along with Devon Field, with her hats and her gloves
The nicest guys in Newman might be the Lukes
Why does Alex Huyett always say “Gadzooks?”

Alanna and Jill are always having fun
Those two go together like seeds on a bun
They love Disney and P-Poz likes it’s their job
I go to their crib just to see SpongeBob

Then there’s Frank with a capital F
He’s not a student but he’s a heck of a chef
Are you guys out there feeling the funk?
I heard Dave Sao wants to be a monk

Kelly Bird’s always working hard for Thon
She won’t stop fighting till cancer’s gone
If the commons made too many tater tots
Donny Brenner makes sure that they will Waste Not

Who are those guys not makin' any noise?
It must be all those freshmen boys.
The freshmen girls, always seen together
from this year on, we're birds of a feather.

[1-2 shoutout] Everybody holla if you love Ashley Dolla!

Speaking of siblings and pairs with quirks
can you tell me truly that there are two Burkes
Megan McGrath loves latin, greek, and nuns
And Joe Chobot can’t get enough fireworks and guns

Did you know that Newman has a cat?
She meows and she purrs and does all that
Late at night she goes to swing dance
And likes to crack bad jokes about pants
She’s so special her rhyme’s at the end
If you don’t know yet- I’m talkin' bout Friend

We'd like to thank God and you for hearing us
We're rapping out without one cuss
Remember to always love one another
We'd like to send out this Word to Our Mother
