Intro (play the main rift Once)
Of all the things I’ll never do
I have to pass them half to you
Oh I can’t play and I can’t sing
But my cousin has a Grey Cup Ring
And I’ve never even seen the thing
But I’m told it’s as big as a tire swing
And I’ve heard of all the prestige that it brings
My cousin has a Grey Cup Ring
Instrumental (Main Rift)
And at the family gatherings
He’s Grandma’s favorite living thing
She tugs upon her apron string
My cousin has a Grey Cup Ring (X2)
Bridge
And oh I know
I’m a wasted(?) size
But I turn out all right
I know
That a country farm makes a throwing arm
And he can paint the barn
Reach the smoke alarm
He’s got winning charm
He’s made, made
(Go back to main Rift, play once before starting next verse)
Of all the things I’ll never see
I’d have to tell you honestly
That I’ve got a fairly good baseball swing
But my Cousin has a Grey Cup Ring
Of all the things I want in life
Well he’s got a car and a beard and a wife
And he’s not jealous of the way I sing
But I’m jealous of his Grey Cup Ring
I’m jealous of the prestige that it brings.
