We were champions
once, before Corona,
once, before Corona,
And wore blood red
to reflect our aura.
But now I go,
to reflect our aura.
But now I go,
there’s seats to spare,
I hold my brew, and
dare not swear.
And so we linger
I hold my brew, and
dare not swear.
And so we linger
in last, lost space,
Count balls, strikes,
Still hungry to place.
Still hungry to place.
But all our stars
are on other teams,
Our owner died,
sweet in his dreams.
My season is over,
here comes fall,
Its time to honor —
the glove, the bat, the ball.
