Lefty Among the Leeches
Right when things were just a gettin' on the mend
That's when we all got the message and it said
Get your slugger out and bring him here again
Let the people in immediately and
Keep the media together at the gate
To greet him coming out and they can make him wait
Boss come crying, he's got something to explain
My lefty's goin' away, who's gonna DH?
Lefty among the leeches
The way he's gone out, deeper than he's even really been
Never in the many years that he's been in the bigs
Did we ever think about the devil that he did
I just wondered at the distance of his hits
And not about the ones that he injected in his head
Don't care nothing that the fuckin' papers say
I'll remember you the one and only way
All time lefty with the dangerous swing
I still give you more respect than most chump clean heads
I felt one with you
This time I wanted to see you there
Like my big a bomber
This time I hoped that you'd be there
Planting big long ones
Crashing the hide so long and fair
Like my big a bomber
Lefty among the leeches
