A young coach came stridin in one dark and windy day
He was tried, true and tested and man you would obey
Forgot the rumors he had heard He would not withdraw
There was a new coach in town and he was the law
His goals were much higher and he had a certain appeal
His hair was black and shiny and you could tell here's the real deal
A bolt of fear went through us as his name was revealed
for we saw all the coaches running hard, led by Coach Mayfield
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi yaaaaay
the pride of 65 started that day
there was no fear on his face, when he told Walsh the play
some memories cant be erased, and Ill never forget that day
and the legend that started that night cannot be concealed
the legend that lives on today the legend of Coach Mayfield
every week victorious but we had one more game
a battle fought in the mud in the driving rain
a battle had been won a great day to be alive
a great tribute to the team and the pride of 65
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi Yaaaaay
The pride of 65 started that day
The pride of 65 started that day
The pride of 65 started that day
