A Song for Jimmy

With apologies to Simon & Garfunkel
Sung to the tune of, "Bridge Over Troubled Waters"



When you're weary, playing ball,
When the sun beams in your eyes, we will shade them all
We're on your side.
When times get tough
And wins just can't be found,
Like a cot in the dugout, Jimmy
You can take a nap.
Like a cot in the dugout, Jimmy
We will take the rap

When you're down and out,
When you've lost the game
When the season feels so long
We will help you out.
We'll lift your check.
When darkness comes
And the plane is on the ground,
Like a cot in the dugout, Jimmy
We'll be there for you.
Like a cot in the dugout, Jimmy
We'll fly you to St. Loo.

Flail on cardinal birds
Flail on by.
It's time to rise and shine.
All your games are on the tube.
Please stop your whine.
If you need to rest
We're guarding your behind.
Like a cot in the dugout, Jimmy
You can lay your head.
Let's face the cold truth, Jimmy
This season's almost dead.
