Just having some fun

Thanks to the Kinks:

Dream baby - dream.

Everybodys a dreamer and everybodys a star,
And everybodys in baseball, it doesnt matter who you are.
There are stars in every city,
In every house and on every street,
And if you walk down Baseball boulevard
Their names are written in concrete!

Dont step on Ron Guidry as you walk down the boulevard,
He looks so weak and fragile thats why he tried to be so hard
But they turned him into a prince.
And they sat him on a throne,
But he turned his back on stardom,
Because he wanted to be alone.

You can see all the stars as you walk down baseball boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that youve hardly even heard of,
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

Mickey Mantle looks very much alive,
And he looks up ladies dresses as they sadly pass him by.

Avoid stepping on Ty Cobb
cause hes liable to turn and bite,

But stand close by Jimmy Piersall
Because his was such a lonely life.

If you covered him with garbage,
Kirby Puckett would still have style,
And if you stamped on Mark Fydrich
He would still turn round and smile,

But please dont tread on dearest Barry
cause hes not very tough,
He should have been made of iron or steel,
But he was only made of HGH and blood.

You can see all the stars as you walk down baseball boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that youve hardly even heard of.
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

Everybodys a dreamer and everybodys a star
And everybodys in baseball, it doesnt matter who you are.

And those who are successful,
Be always on your guard,
Success walks hand in hand with failure
Along baseball boulevard.

I wish my life was a non-stop baseball show,
A fantasy world of baseball villains and heroes,
Because baseball heroes never feel any pain
And baseball heroes never really die.
