DOWNEY vs. ANAHEIM
Los Angeles Coliseum Dec. 14, 1956

Needles and Pins,
Needles and Pins,
Downey and Anaheim–
Which team will win?

Needles and Pins,
Needles and Pins,
Vikings and Colonists–
Which team will win?

Two great young Heroes,
Meadows and Flynn:
Both bound for glory–
But whose team will win?

Randy the Dandy,
The Ghost of Arnett,
Heart of a Lion
And speed of a Jet!

And Mickey, the Slick One,
So quick and elusive,
Running through Tacklers
With a smile so Effusive!

Needles and Pins,
Needles and Pins,
Downey and Anaheim–
Which team will win?
