THE CUP OF GLORY Verse 1 Summer night, Ullevi A million voices, wild and free Lights went down, the amps caught fire Everybody climbing higher Shoulder to shoulder, packed in tight Ready for a long, loud night Then Hasse’s face turned ghostly white… “Oh no…” Pre Chorus No way back No escape Too much beer Too little fate Chorus Raise that cup! Hold it steady! Rock ain’t gonna wait for anybody! Front row problem, nowhere to run When nature calls, you get it done! Plastic Cup Hero! King of the night! Everybody screaming while he aimed just right! Who does that? Nobody knows… Only Hasse at a rock ‘n’ roll show! Verse 2 The band was loud, the crowd was insane Nobody moving in that human train Fight your way back? Not a chance He made a split-second circumstance One empty cup One zipper down The bravest man in Göteborg town Pre Chorus No hesitation No second plan Improvisation Like only Hasse can Chorus Raise that cup! Hold it steady! Rock ain’t gonna wait for anybody! Front row problem, nowhere to run When nature calls, you get it done! Plastic Cup Hero! King of the night! Everybody screaming while he aimed just right! Who does that? Nobody knows… Only Hasse at a rock ‘n’ roll show! Bridge Some people sing Some people shout Some people lose their voices out But one man wrote his legacy With a plastic cup… and urgency. Guitar Solo Final Chorus Raise that cup! Raise it high! Never let the good times die! The riff rolled on, the crowd went wild And Hasse only smiled. Plastic Cup Hero! Legend lives on! The concert ended, but the story never’s gone! Who does that? WHO DOES THAT? Everybody knows… HASSE DOES! Outro Rock never stopped. Neither did the story.
