Lyrics

***As you can guess, one of my favorite songs of all time......


Tony says that this guy is like an Orchid
he can't pitch when the temperature's low
Well when this season is done, you know he's gonna run
off to San Diego
Pitching in long-johns just ain't much fun
Lately it's warm and he's getting it done
Strasburg's a monster when it is sunny and 75
(He gets killed.....When he's chilled)

Since he got here we've been waitin' on those 20 wins
and maybe a CY YOUNG or two
Then he had surgery and it just wasn't to be
just like you know who....
So take a good long look at his face
It won't be long 'til he's out of this place
'Cause you know Orchids they bloom when it's sunny and 75.....

Lyrics/Vocals Joe Aro
Parody (again) of "TRACKS OF MY TEARS"
*4th go-round on this tune, and was going to ask Nigel to play it if he plays one of mine today....Then I got an email from a long-time collaborator.

    I asked Nigel to play the song that Byron sent me yesterday, a Stevie Wonder parody, but he told me this morning they didn't have a chance to PREVIEW IT. Not sure what that means. Not like I'd send anything with blue lyrics....But, anyway....It is baseball season.
