(It sounds a little something like this.)
It's twelve o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an Orioles fan sitting next to me
Makin' love to his Tankeray gin
He says, “Son, can you change the channel?
I'm not really sure what's its name
But it's there and I care and I don't quite know why
When I watch the Orioles game.”
La la la, di di da
La la, di di da da dum
Throw us a strike, you're Chris Tillman
Throw us a strike today
Well, we're all in the mood for a victory
And you've got us feelin' okay
Now Craig at the plate is a backup guy
He's not got a bad OBP
And he's sure got to know he's lucky to be in the show
So there's no place that he'd rather be.
But me, I believe this team's killing me
It's like being raked over coals
Well I'm sure that they'd win the World Series
If they only signed Albert Pujols
(continues)
Oh, la la, di di da
La la, di di da da dum
Now Brad's not a great starting pitcher
He's off to spend time with his wife
And he's talkin' with Michael, who's not on the DL
But probably should be for life
And the young man remembers '96
As the old man recalls '83
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call losing
But it sure beats sobriety
Throw us a strike, you're Chris Tillman
Throw us a strike today
Well, we're all in the mood for a victory
And you've got us feelin' okay
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'cause he knows that it's he we've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the Yankee fans smell like a sewer
The microphone smells like Thorne's booze
And we sit by our TVs and put posts on CC
And say, “Man, we better not lose!”
Oh, la la la, di di da
La la, di di da da dum
Throw us a strike, you're Chris Tillman
Throw us a strike today
Well, we're all in the mood for a victory
And you've got us feelin' okay
