The History of The Jago's

(To be sung to the tune of the Irish folk song "Blarney Rose")

IF YOU HAD A TEACHER WHO WOULD KICK A SOCCER BALL

AND HIS LAST NAME WAS JAGO AND HIS FIRST NAME WAS PAUL

THEN YOU KNOW OF A MAN WITH THE BALL SKILLS TO BOAST,

AND A VINTAGE B.M.W. IN WHICH HE LIKED TO COAST

AN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIAN BORN AND BRED

WITH THE KIDS UP THERE HE HAD MAD STREET CRED.

BUT TO MARYLAND HE CAME WHEN HE ANSWERED THE CALLING

EVEN THOUGH THE HUMIDITY HERE WAS DOWN-RIGHT APPALLING

AND UNLIKE HIS TWIN BROTHER WHO MOVED HERE TO BEAT US

THE HIP MR JAGO HAD A PASSION TO TEACH US

ENGLISH, MATH, SCIENCE, & HISTORY

HOW HE DID THE JOB OF SEVEN TEACHERS, TO ME IS STILL A MYSTERY

EVERYDAY IN THE CLASS HE WOULD PUT ON A GREAT SHOW

AND ONE YEAR, IF YOU RECALL, HE EVEN PLAYED A BANDITO

FROM THAT GOOFY LAUGH THAT IS SO UNFORGETTABLE

TO HIS ATTEMPTS AT A BRITISH ACCENT THAT ONE MIGHT CALL "REGRETTABLE"

MR JAGO WAS OUR TEACHER AND A RENAISSANCE MAN

AND STILL, TO THIS DAY, I'LL ADMIT… I'M A FAN
