Favorite FIRST Team
(To the tune of Paparazzi)

We are the crowd
We're c-coming out
Got my buttons its true
Need that button from you
It's so magical
Your robot is unbeatable

I got my team shirt
signed by Woody and Dean
I'm so fabulous
With glasses of safety
They don't have a price
Ready for the green field light

'Cuz you know that baby I
I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
You're my favorite FIRST team

Baby, we'll be famous
Chase you down until you choose me
I'll accept graciously

Promise I'll play fine
But I won't stop until that banner's mine

Baby we'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
You're my favorite FIRST team
