Letterman may refer to:
A letterman, in U.S. activities/sports, is a high school or college student who has met a specified level of participation or performance on a varsity team.
The term comes from the practice of awarding each such participant a cloth "letter", which is usually the school's initial or initials, for placement on a "letter sweater" or "letter jacket" intended for the display of such an award. In some instances, the sweater or jacket itself may also be awarded, especially for the initial award to a given individual.
Today, in order to distinguish "lettermen" from other team participants, schools often establish a minimum level of participation in a team's events or a minimum level of performance in order for a letter to be awarded.
A common threshold in American football and basketball is participation in a set level, often half, of all quarters in a season.
In individual sports such as tennis and golf, the threshold for lettering is generally participation in one half or sometimes two-thirds of all matches contested. Frequently, other members of the team who fail to meet requirements for a letter are awarded a certificate of participation or other award considered to be of lesser value than a letter.
Late night,
Watching the TV, it's 12:00,
We're watching David Letterman.
With the Lord, we practice our routines.
As He opens the show, we roll over,
Pretend we're dead just like Spot and Rover.
The Bible gives us a top 10 list
Can't find on Letterman.
We do the stupidest human tricks
Can't find on Letterman.
Can't find on Letterman.
Can't find on Letterman.
Talkin' to our guests, we joke and jest.
He sees our show; He's not impressed.
Letters that we read,
We throw them out the window when the worldly turns us on.
We cut to music as the band plays on.
The Bible gives us a top 10 list
Can't find on Letterman.
We do the dumbest of human tricks
Can't find on Letterman.
We smile, but there's a big gap there
Can't find on Letterman.
We need somebody to fill it in
Can't find on Letterman.
He loves us. Yeah!
He don't want no TV stage.
We need Him. Yeah!
Then why do we act this way?
Just like on Letterman.
Late night with Letterman.
Just like on Letterman.
