Opening Song A Tribute to Grey Cup Weekend
(sung to the tune of It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Andy Williams)

Editorial comment: Grey Cup and Banjo Bowl weekend tie for most wonderful time of the year so the song gets used twice this year.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
With the Blue Bombers in it
Their fans say they win it, so stand up and cheer!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year

It’s the hap-happiest season of all
With those CFL greetings and fun pre-game meetings
A sure sign of fall
It’s the hap-happiest season of all

There’ll be parties for hosting
Melon heads for roasting
The Bombers they’ll put on a show
There’ll be old football stories
And tales of the glories of Grey Cup games long, long ago

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much fan trash talking
And hearts will be pounding cause Blue hears you cheer
It’s the most wonderful time of the year

There’ll be parties for hosting
Melon heads for roasting
As Bombers they put on a show
There’ll be old football stories
And tales of the glories of Grey Cup games long, long ago

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much fan trash talking
And hearts will be pounding cause Blue hears you cheer
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
Yes, the most wonderful time
Oh, the most wonderful time COME AND CHEER
