Bat-Boppin’ Skills
[Original lyrics here.]
Ooooh, you gonna drive me home tonight?
Oooh, down 6-5 in bottom-9;
Are you gonna swing and not strike out?
Bat-boppin’ skills,
You make the baserunners go ’round.
[Continued after the jump.]
J.
Never knew my balls from bats,
But I could slug before I left the triple-A,
Stuck a needle in Big Mac’s fanny,
But not Hendu, Rickey, or Carney!
That big redhead made a bad boy out of me!
Jose!
I’ve been swingin’ with my Yanks
Laughin’ all the way to the bank,
I seen ev’ry loose-armed LOOGY in the league (AL)
But their sliders and their guile
Wore me down after a while.
Made me swing too tardy ABs time after time!
(C’mon)
Oh won’t you bring me home ’09?
Oh now before your blue sale light,
Before you give up on Fremont
Bat-boppin’ skills they make the turnstile gates go ’round
Bat-boppin’ skills they make the turnstile gates go ’round
Hey Lew W. here,
Now I got mortgages on homes
I got stiffed 20 million bones
Ain’t no land-grab steals in this locality. (Or Oakland!)
Oh, but I still got my franchise
Still got my debt tied up in tranches.
Selig wants to make an example out of me!
Neukom–bite this!
Oh, (San Jo’), you gonna make me a home tonight (please)
Oh, down beside that train rail-light
Oh, you gonna carve tax credits out
Fat bottom lines they make the backroom deals go down *(yeah)*
Fat bottom lines they make the backroom deals go down *(yeah)*
GET OFF YOUR PARK AND RIDE!
Oooh yeah oh yeah them fat bottom lines
Fat bottom lines
Yeah yeah yeah
All right
EIR ’em Bud, boy
Fat bottom lines
Yes yes
Nice. Love the original song, too.
Yay! Poretic Innerlube!
Very awesomeness!
It’s downright tranchant! Bravo, as usual!
(On the topic of Queen parodies, anybody seen Ice Cream?)
My (British) friend would not hire any wedding band that didn’t have Queen in its repertoire. It took him a while to find a wedding band.
Most excellent. Though, as I understand it, the steroid abuser is left with all bat and no balls.
Factoid you may not know: Queen was the first rock band to receive an official seal of approval from the government of Iran, in 2004, allowing their greatest hits album to be legally sold there. Freddie Mercury was of Iranian ancestry.
