Rock that Preppy Sweater Vest

Once I wore the scarlet and grey
Playin' in the Big Ten,
I never had no problems, yeah
Takin' down Michigan
Tattoos all over my body, yeah
The prices got to bein' so low
And I decided quickly (Yes I did)
To swap my gold pants for a funky auto
Yeah, we was winnin' by cheatin,' but groovin' to Pasadenin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Rock that preppy sweater vest Buckeye
Rock that preppy sweater vest Ohio
Rock that preppy sweater vest Buckeye
Put on your jersey and rock that preppy sweater vest 'til yer drafted
'Til we're drafted
Oh ya, ya

Jim Tressel understands this
NCAA is out of their minds
How could they be so foolish (How could they)
To think he didn't know the whole time
So still we kept on cheatin'
Coaches always look the other way
Investigatiors don't find nothin; (nothin' at all)
When they check to see if things are okay
Yeah, we was winnin' by cheatin,' but groovin' to Pasadenin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Rock that preppy sweater vest Buckeye
Rock that preppy sweater vest Ohio
Rock that preppy sweater vest Buckeye
Put on your jersey and rock that preppy sweater vest 'til yer drafted
'Til we're drafted
Oh ya, ya

(Autographed helmet for a pound of bud, yeah)

Now you know it ain't so easy
Playin' football while doin' lines
But when things start getting shaky
I just go hang out at the Fine Line
And then it's so much better (it's so much better)
They hook me up in every way
I'll never lose those markings (no I won't)
From all the free tattoos I got in those days
Yeah, we was winnin' by cheatin,' but groovin' to Pasadenin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Rock that preppy sweater vest Buckeye
Rock that preppy sweater vest Ohio
Rock that preppy sweater vest Buckeye
Put on your jersey and rock that preppy sweater vest 'til yer drafted
'Til we're drafted
Oh ya, ya

They shouted play that funky music
(Rock that preppy sweater vest)
Rock that preppy sweater vest...
