Fins Lyrics (Dolphins version)

[spadilly]

went back and watched the video....these are pretty close...


Fins for Dolphins

we drive down interstate ninety five
and up on u.s. one
it's gameday in miamitown
where the dolphins are number one (NUMERO UNO!)

we play down by the ocean
in that warm south florida sun
the tailgates down so lets gather round
for some pregame landshark fun

cant you feel us circling us honey
cant you feel us schooling around
fins to the left
fins to the right
you're at the only game in town
whoa whoa
whoa whoa
you got fins to the left
fins to the right
its the only game in town

from lauderdale and boca
palm beaches to the florida keys
its a gameday mass migration
we've got high fives on the breeze

kickoff time's approaching
we gotta shut off those cell phones
and get your arms up in the air
we're entering the fin zone

cant you feel us circling dolphins
cant you feel em schooling around
you got fins to the left
fins to the right
it's the only game in town

we drive down interstate ninety five
up on u.s. one
it's gameday in miamitown
where the dolphins are number one

we play down by the ocean
in that warm south florida sun
the tailgates down so lets gather round
for some pregame landshark fun

cant you feel us circling honey
cant you feel em schooling around
fins to the left
fins to the right
at the only game in town

fins to the left
fins to the right
you're at only game in town

LET THE FIN BEGIN!

where the Dolphins are number one (NUMERO UNO!)

we play down by the ocean
in the warm south Florida sun
the tailgates down so gather round
for some pregame Landshark fun

cant you feel us circling Dolphfans
cant you feel us schooling around
fins to the left
fins to the right
you're at the only game in town
whoa whoa
whoa whoa
you got fins to the left
fins to the right
its the only game in town

from Lauderdale and Boca
Palm Beaches to the Florida Keys
its a game day mass migration
high fives fill the breeze

kickoff time's approaching
we gotta shut off our cell phones
and get our arms up in the air
we're entering the "FinZone"

cant you feel us circling dolphins
cant you feel us swimmin' around
you got fins to the left
fins to the right
it's the only game in town

LET THE FIN BEGIN!

You were nearly perfect. I copied what they handed out at the event today to all the media.

Thank you for posting these.

Noooo! As a Bills fan Jimmy just took a strike in my book.

Well.... growing up in an AFC East rival town, I agree with you that I don't like it either (even though I'm not that much of a Pats fan but I don't like the Dolphins).

[JustDucky]

A strike against JB because you're a Bills fan? What planet are YOU on? It's freezing cold miserable up there.

You're NUTS.

OK I guess I've moved to the next stage of being a fan. I was actually embarrassed listening to this. I'm fine with the stadium name change and heck, if I were a gazillionaire I'd probably want to own part of a football team too - I really would. But changing the words to a well known song to make it fit the football team is the height of cheesy.

Look at the bright side... He's now far less inclined to play in another team's football stadium. That means concerts at Great Woods instead of Gillette.

Thanks Jen, yeah I'd have a REALLLY hard time buying a ticket for another concert there!!

From another thread:

Buffett at the Super Bowl. Just what we need, new versions of Margaritaville, Cheeseburger In Paradise and Fins. I'll pass.

I have to agree with Larry on this one. While I have no problem with Jimmy buying into the Dolphins , or putting Landsharks name on the stadium, or any other business venture he sees fit to invest in - the whole press conference/performance thing embarrassed me for some reason. As I said on another thread, I guess I've reached a new level of fandom. Changing the words to Fins was just a bit too cheesy for my taste. And the new version of "Here we Are" didn't do much for me either. That was "our" song, but I guess now there's a new group to make money off of.

Just for the record I'm a hig fan of football, and I'm still a JB fan but this was really crass commercializing and not at all pleasant to watch.

I wasn't too put off by any of it yesterday. Kind of mildly uncomfortable. But if they start playing "Here We Are", Dolphins version, on the big screen before games, I will blow a gasket....... (Hell yes, that's "our" song.... Written as "our" song.... Damb well better stay "our" song.....)

Ugh!! As another Bills fan , this makes me ill, As a longtime J.B. fan, this whole thing makes me want to hurl.
It was bad enough when they stole that "Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins, number one" song long ago from the Oilers. Now every time I hear Fins ... Well you get the picture. Besides Blandshark lager isn't even that good.
