Hello Jim, whatta you know?
We need a hit so here I go.
Ball one (Yea!)
Ball two (Yea!)
Strike one (Booo!)
Strike two (Kill that umpire!)
A case of Red Bull

He tempted baseball's famous streak
That's gave some people grins
He's just a man and not a freak,
Philly's Jimmy Rollins

Jim, Jimmy Rollins
We want you on our side

He finished last year at thirty-six
October two it's been
Since then he's hit a good two more
Jim, Jimmy Rollins

Jim, Jimmy Rollins
We want you on our side

From coast to coast that's all you'll hear
Of Jimmy the one man show
He's glorified the horsehide sphere
Jim, Jimmy Rollins

Jim, Jimmy Rollins
We want you on our side

He won't be in baseball's Hall of Fame
He really didn't glow
Our kids might tell their kids his name
Jim, Jimmy Rollins

We dream of Jimmy with the light brown bat
Jim, Jimmy Rollins
We want you on our side

And now they speak in whispers low
Of how they stopped our Jim
One day in Philly Oh Oh Oh
Goodbye streak Jimmy-oh

I would have enjoyed it if you had tried to make "Paul Molitor" scan, back in the day.
