The Battle of The Big Easy Rollergirls




In 2005 we took a little trip
Scattered all across the country up the mighty Mississip
We brought along our wheels and we packed up all our dreams
And we beat that bitch Katrina and came back to New Orleans

CHORUS:
We formed our pack and the skaters kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired our jammer through and she began a-pumpin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We strapped on our roller skates before the banks were dry
And BERG was up and rolling through Hell and Water High
At the World of Mardi Gras BERG founded all her teams
With axle-grease and glory, the pride of New Orleans

CHORUS:
We formed our pack and the skaters kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired our jammer through and she began a-jumpin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

BERG skated ‘cross the country a-whoopin’ all the teams
If not out on the skate rink, then always in our dreams.
If points be scored with fashion, and jams be won by style
BERG would be number one of WFTDA’S rank and file…

CHORUS:
We formed our pack and the skaters kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired our jammer through and she began a-slammin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Yeah, we skated through the sprains, and we skated through the bruises
And we skated through the blisters, but we kept our asses low
We skated so fast that the Devil couldn’t catch us
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Our girls are everywhere, all over New Orleans
Our legend keeps a-growing, there’s not stopping this machine.
Lawyers doctors writers singers fighters on four wheels
Representing, ever growing, BERG it is for real

CHORUS:
We formed our pack and the skaters kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired our jammer through and she began a-scorin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Yeah, we skated through the sprains, and we skated through the bruises
And we skated through the blisters, but we kept our asses low
We skated so fast that the Devil couldn’t catch us
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
