Come On Cubbies Trade Mark Prior (song parody)

[Yestheydo]

(to the tune of "Light My Fire" by The Doors)

 

No need to argue; this is mostly exaggeration and it's supposed to be fun.

 

You know that it would be untrue

You know that I would be a liar

If I was to say to you

His great mechanics I admire

 

Come on Cubbies trade Mark Prior

Come on Cubbies trade Mark Prior

Of disappointment Cubs fans….tiiiiiire

 

The time to hesitate is through

His value isn’t going higher

You think he’ll ever be like new

You must be drunker than Chris Speier

 

Come on Cubbies trade Mark Prior

Come on Cubbies trade Mark Prior

You’re sure to find a desperate…..buyyyyyer

 

You know that you would be a loon

If keeping him is your desire

He hasn’t done his drills since June

I guess his towel’s in the dryer

 

Come on Cubbies trade Mark Prior

Come on Cubbies trade Mark Prior

He oughta just go join a………choiiiiiiiiir

 

I hope he gets a new team soon

I hope they have a pair of pliers

I hope they have a stapler too

Cause his arm is held on with some wire

 

Come on Cubbies trade Mark Prior

Try to get some dudes for Prior

He could come back and be on fire

What will I say then you inquire

Be shocked like I just touched live wire

I’ll have a stroke like Billy Squier

Those thoughts make you a deep denyer

Come on Cubbies trade Mark Priiiiiiiiioooooooooorrrrrrr

I love it!

"The Cubs also listened to more rumors than facts regarding other teams' interest in Mark Prior, who is coming back from surgery on his right shoulder. There was little interest in Prior, and the next deadline they face is Dec. 12, when the Cubs have to decide whether to offer him arbitration".

 

---Hmm, I found this interesting. Who's a person to believe?

if i said you song didn't suck

[abuck1220]

i'm a sucker for a good towel joke!

 

time well spent!

Thats a serious decision there for Hendry, having to figure out what to do with Prior by Dec 12. Lets see..you sign him,overpay him and he continues to be a bust--or you trade him for little value(or let him walk)and possibly watch him pull a Chris Carpenter on you.

[Allroy]

Very well done. Most enjoyed. =D>

Pretty funny I guess

 

Thanks everybody

This has the same feel to it as the old posts that would say to trade away Wood and Prior because us fans are tired of them. That's even in the song. That line of thinking is still just as wrong now as it was then.
