Nationals Anthems

I wrote Johnny Pat with my brother Ned. (I love you bro!) Johnny Pat was meant to be the Nat’s ace in 2007, and it just didn’t work out that way – but my philosophy with these songs is to turn every Nat into Paul freaking Bunyan if I can help it. Multi-tracking and exclamation points go a long way towards that end, don’t you agree?

Johnny Pat! He’s a great tall Nat!
He’s a fine Nat, that’s our Johnny Patterson!
When John Patterson’s upon the mound
You can bet he won’t let any batters on!
He’ll let no batters oooooooon
Johnny Pat!
