The Monday Night Card
Lyrics and Music by Ted Horrell


Well on Saturday mornings we’d meet at the screen
And my dad turned on wrestling, I sat on his knee
As wild as it was it was it was never complete
Cause the Monday Night Card would be something to see
Yeah the Monday Night Card would be something to see

So we’d load up the car, the kids sat on the floor
Candy stuffed in our pockets, we’d strut through the door
As the music swelled kings and gods took the ring
Looked and sounded like nothing else you’d ever seen
And the roar from the crowd made the mayhem complete
And the Monday Night Card would be something to see
Yeah the Monday Night Card would be something to see

When the strap came down no one stayed in their seats
The best shots at the crown never were on TV
With Lance and Dave Brown and the whole family
Well the Monday Night Card it was something to see
Well the Monday Night Card it was something to see

Grinding it out in the Memphis heat
White and black rich or poor from mansions or the street

They’d all come on down to Memphis, TN
And soak up the sounds you don’t get on TV
There was spit and blood and profanity
And the Monday Night Card it was something to see
And the Monday Night Card it was something to see

So come on down to Memphis, TN
We’ll be kicking up sound for the whole family
Heels and faces and fire and men of mystery
And the Monday Night Card is still something to see
Yeah the Monday Night Card is still something to see
Yeah the Monday Night Card is still something to see
