YOUR OWN HALL OF FAME

Several of our lacrosse teams
consist of all little boys
And the first thing they learn
is those sticks are not toys
And to play the Creator's game
you have to be physically fit
Because there's eager opponents
you must be ready to outwit
Many of these boys are unaware
of where their skill came
The only thing they want
is just to play this game
And without even knowing it
they fit right in a mold
When they can really understand it
this is what they'll be told
When you hear "go Irving go"
it is an echo from the past
Their namesakes and grandchildren
will finally know at last
Everyone will learn about Lyle,
Buffalo, Oren and other players too
These men showed everybody
just what teamwork could do
The accomplishments of these men
has been overlooked until today
Because lacrosse was in their blood
they knew no other way
They decided to follow their hearts
and play wherever they could
And there is no doubt about it
they certainly were good
That is the general opinion
of those who saw them play
Too bad camcorders
were not of their day
What was told or printed
from all those days gone by
We won't let them be forgotten
on that you can rely
All the men from Onondaga
who played on several teams
Were just like these boys now
who want to fulfill their dreams
It's impossible to name here
all the men who played this game
So if they're in your mind and heart
then they're in your own "Hall of Fame"
