Wake? Hark! We Need A Song!

(Some of the folks who organized the next generation Sharks list decided to schedule a get-together, and declared it a wake for the old list. I see it differently, but a chance to spend face time with these people is always welcome. It is on 12/19, FWIW, and if you want info on joining in, drop me email

But anyway — Dennis Leach is a name well known to Sharks fans, since until this season, he was one of the primary anthem singers in San Jose Arena — and his voice is much missed this year, at least by some of us.

And Dennis did what he does best — when he heard of the wake, he broke out in song. And I just had to share it with you….)

With apologies to Padraig Murphy…..

1. Oh, The day that Sharks at Plaidworks died I never will forget.
We all got stinkin’ drunk that night and some ain’t sober yet.
Well, the only thing we did that night that caused us any shame,
We sat her upright in the box and dealt her in the game.

Chorus
Oh, that is the way we buried Sharks at Plaidworks.
That’s how we lost our honor and our pride.
That is the way we buried Sharks at Plaidworks
On the night that Sharks at Plaidworks died.

2. Oh, the night that Sharks at Plaidworks died I never will forget.
We all got stinkin’ drunk that night and some ain’t sober yet.
Well, the only thing we did that night that caused us any fear,
We took the ice right off the corpse and put it in our beer.

Chorus

3. Oh, the night that Sharks at Plaidworks died I never will forget.
We all got stinkin’ drunk that night and some ain’t sober yet.
Well, the only thing we did that night that made our hearts to sigh,
We took the foam atop our pints and “phhoophed” her in the eye.

Chorus

4. Oh, the night that Sharks at Plaidworks died I never will forget.
We all got stinkin’ drunk that night and some ain’t sober yet.
Well, the only thing we did that night that gave us any hope,
We Sainted Chuq and Laurie then we lowered them a rope.

Oh, that is the way we buried Sharks at Plaidworks.
That’s how we lost our honor and our pride.
That is the way we buried Sharks at Plaidworks
On the night that Sharks at Plaidworks died.
