Barry Feldman Ode To The O's
Can't count these days on nothin at all 'Cept in Baltimore if you believe in baseball Sure things can shatter or just fly away But the Birds always come back no matter what the experts say Well you could look it up -- in this life one truth is sound Always look out for the O's when each Fall comes around In these days when you can't count on last Fall's clothes When the rays of the sun dim and fickle wind blows In these days when a rose ain't a rose ain't a rose Never count out the O''s for October Cardinals and Blue Jays'll fly south in the Fall Yankees go with 'em and the Giants get small Braves run away and the Rangers need guns The Expos are no-shows and the Padres are nones The Phillies they wheeze and the Tigers meow The Mariners sink and the Brewers get ploughed White Sox and Red Sox should try playin with shoes Royals get flushed and the Reds get the blues Dodgers get drafted and the Indians get jived The Astros still think they're the Colt 45's The Twins are just babies, Pirates just tinkerbelles Well the Mets play like pets and the Angels like Hey but these days when you can't count on last Fall's clothes When the rays of the sun dim and fickle wind blows In these days when a rose ain't a rose ain't a rose Never count out the O's for October O Robinsons Frank or Brooks, Billy or Brother Loes Ripkens Hansens Belangers or Aparicios Flanagans McGregors McNallys or Cuellars Triandos Moes or Titos Never count out the O's for October Fishers Barbers Boddickers Millers Weavers Palmers Portocarreros Demseys Estradas Sheets Sakatas Johnsons Stones or Steferos Eddies Freddies Singies Tippies Boogs or Bees Sugar Bears Turkey Necks Rhinos or Crows Never count out the O's for October Olsons Kellys Altobellis Blairs Adairs Milackis Orsulaks Wilhelms Dropos Bradleys Ballards Bauers Dauers Gentiles Ginsbergs or Gonzos Harnisches Tettletons Milligans Worthingtons Williamsons Trabes Devereaux Never count out the O's for October Aw in these days when you can't count on last Fall's clothes When the rays of the sun dim and fickle wind blows In these days when a rose ain't a rose ain't a rose ain't a rose Never count out these O's for October Oh never count out the O's for October O's never count out the O's for October Always look out for the O's by October O's O's never count out the O's for October
