    Sung to the tune of the same name by The Platters (for all of you youngsters, here's the link so that you can follow along:

    )


    Oh-oh, yes he’s the great pretender
    Pretending that he’s coaching well
    His contract’s such he gets paid too much
    He’s outclassed but TAF cannot tell


    Oh-oh, yes he's the great pretender
    Adrift in a league we should own
    He’s played the games but to our real shame
    He’s brought us but one trophy home


    Too real is this feeling of make-believe
    Too real when we see what the facts can't conceal


    Oh, yes, to all his great defenders
    He’s clapping his hands like a seal
    He seems to be what he’s not, you see
    He’s wearing his hat like a clown
    Contending he won’t let us down


    Too real is this feeling of what could be
    Too real when we yield to teams others revere


    Yes he's the great pretender
    Winning most but not gaining ground
    He’s Saban’s bitch, oh to make the switch
    He’s bringing chagrin to our town
    We’re wond’ring why he’s still around

    Is that more than a feeling you have?

    Seems I've got to have a change of scene
    Every night I have the strangest dreams
    Imprisoned by the way it could have been
    Left here on my own or so it seems
    I've got to leave before I start to scream
    But someone locked the door and took the key

    You feelin' alright?
    I'm not feelin' too good myself
    Well, you feelin' alright?
    I'm not feelin' too good myself

    Well, say, you sure took me for one big ride
    And even now I sit and wonder why
    That when I think of you I start to cry
    I just can't waste my time; I must keep dry
    Gotta stop believin' in all your lies
    'Cause there's too much to do before I die

    You feelin' alright?
    I'm not feelin' too good myself
    Well, you feelin' alright?
    I'm not feelin' too good myself
