Opening Song

Banjo Bowl Isle (sung to the tune “Gilligan’s Island”)

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of an epic game
That started in two thousand four

A game that wasn’t lame

The coach was a mighty football man
The QB brave and true
The Bombers won the game that day
On a three-hour tour, a three-hour tour

Tradition started getting rough

The Riders were the boss
If not for the courage of our Bomber team
Tradition would be the lost, tradition would be lost

Today the game is played on a place that’s called Banjo Bowl Isle

With Mike O’Shea
Collaros too
Where Brady runs for his life

The kicking star

The special teams and defence too
Here on Banjo Bowl Isle

Now this is the tale of the Banjo Bowl
It’s here for a long, long time

Blue must make the best of things,
It’s an uphill climb.

The coaches and their QB too
Will do their very best,
To see the Bombers win this game
Roughriders they will best

No gain, no pass no running play

Not a single point they’ll score

Roughriders face a shut out

This game could be a bore

So join us here each year my friends,
You’re sure to get a smile,
The Bombers and the Roughriders

Here on Banjo Bowl Isle
