It's beginning to feel like 1776 in here…
It's a megadeal, I say
They will cheer every clause
Every number
I wish I felt that way
That we won't still have
Phil Humber
But then again
The Mets are Mets
And wrought with implication
If they blow
This trade of trades
They'll need another nation
An agent, a GM and an ace
With lightning for an arm
It's a simple fact
To think that now we act
As midwives to a pact
We're waiting for the scratch, scratch, scratch
To be paid Johan Santana
Waiting for this trade to hatch
On this soggy Friday afternoon a
Fortnight before spring training
God knows the contract is high enough
To choke a giraffe
But will it draft Johan?
We're waiting for the swap, swap, swap
To soon be deemed official
Waiting until five o'clock
For the Wilpons to start doling out that
Citi Field naming money
God knows the pile is high enough
To solve the debt
But will it yield a Met?
Johan's gonna make big bucks
So he oughta make 'em at Shea
Brother, it would suck, suck, suck
If twenty million stood between us
And penciling in Santana
I'm gonna click on MetsBlog again
And hope that Omar has grabbed a pen
To make sure Johan
Belongs to us!
5 0'clock? 7 0'clock!?!? Ohhhhhhhhhh…it hurts…..
NostraDelay,
The real action in 1776 took place on July 2, though the fancy signing was July 4.
Two days…two hours…let's hope it's all good.
Deal is final.
It will be a triumph, a TRIUMPH I tell you!…and if it isn't, well, we still have 7 seasons left to think of something else.
Great! Now all we have to do is win…
Fantastic song that I'm sure that all Mets/Musical Buffs/Historians can enjoy! One things for certain though, the Johan trade is going to make the Phillies sweat.
It's hot as hell
In Philadel
Phia!
At least this time New York did not abstain…cordially!
Or courteously!
Thanks for showing me that it's all on YouTube. I just spent the past 20 minutes watching my favorite songs.
