Usually when I play golf
my score is not too great
I’ll line it up and take my swing
and the ball don’t go too straight.

but when I played the other day,
and even in spite of bad weather,
I played the best I’ve ever played
and shot my best score ever.

I couldn’t believe when I added it up
that my score would be so great.
The best I’ve played in my whole life,
I shot a seventy eight!

I patted myself on the back
for playing the game so fine.
Just wish I could have done as well
when I played the dang back nine.
