Lyrics

A genius idea from Rich Barajas in El Paso -- hope we get to hear Kurkjian laugh at this one day.

As dinner time comes
On a cold and gray MLB mornin'
Tim Kurkjian desperately looks for
Avocado ("Avocado!")

And his wife cries
Cause if there is one thing that she don't need
It's a hungry Kurkjian in desperate need of
Avocado ("Avocado!"

Littles don't you understand
that Kurkjian needs a helping hand
Or he's gonna be a sad analyst today
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see
Or do we simply shake our heads and offer him some greens

Well it's dinner time
And a hungry Kurkjian with a hankerin'
Is out in the street in desperate need of
Avocado ("Avocado!"

    Blood in the water! All they need is for Kurkjian to return before you hear this played, seemingly. Great jerb.
