Fanning was a freshman
At the Northeastern University
Back in the U.S.A
Back in the good ole' days

In the heat of a summer night
in the land of the computer's still
When the servers of napster died
they talk about it still
When a man named shawn came along
try to make them songs his own
and he called his gang to war
against the forces of the law

i heard my momma cry
i heard her pray the night napster died
brother what a night it really was
brother what a fight it really was (lordy be)

i heard my momma cry
i heard her pray the night napster died
brother what a night it people saw
brother what a fight it people saw (yes indeed)

and the news of the battle spread
through the big world wide web
till the last of the napster gang
had surrendered up or died

there where shouting in the street
and the sound of a steady beat
and i asked someone who said
'bout a hundred servers are down

i heard my momma cry
i heard her pray the night napster died
brother what a night it really was
brother what a fight it really was (lordy be)

i heard my momma cry brother what a night it really was
brother what a fight it really was (lordy be)
i heard her pray the night napster died
brother what a night the people saw
brother what a fight the people saw (yes indeed)

then there was no sound at all
but the radio by the wall
then the door bust open wide
and my daddy leaped inside
and he kissed my mommas face
and he dusted her tears away
The night napster died

The night napster died
brother what a night the people saw
brother what a fight the people saw (yes indeed)
the night napster died

the night naspter died
brother what a night it really was
brother what a fight it really was (lordy be)
the night napster died

the night napster died
brother what a night the people saw
brother what a fight the people saw (yes indeed)
