Lyrics
The Bill Walton Song
Ric Seaberg 2001
You were a stutterer? You were a big tall geek
You read Mother Jones and Willamette Week
You were a carrot top? You were the center's curse
You never ate red meat
And you knew Patty Hearst
Bill Walton?didn't I see you in a suit today
Callin' a game for the NBA?I tune in to hear your view
Bill Walton we're proud of you
I hear your sentiments?.. I see your new acclaim
I hear you goin' off on somebody's game
You hated interviews ?.. You were a malcontent
So how'd you get so doggone eloquent
Chorus
Solo
You took heat from the fans? You took heat from the press
It was a love-hate thing in PDX
Now you're a TV star..I am your humble fan
You are the quintessential color man
Bill Walton?Didn't I see you on the tube today
Ca llin' a game for the NBA I tune in to hear your view
Bill Walton we're proud of you?Bill Walton we're proud of you
Bill Walton.. Didn't I see you in a suit today
Callin' a game for the NBA?..Hope that ankle is better too!!
Bill Walton we're proud of you, didn?t I see etc
