Tommy John, what's that Band-Aid you have on
It's a brand new surgery, as yet untried
And did I hear you say you'd be pitching again someday
That Dr. Jobe's a mighty skillful guy

He played real hard and helped his team out greatly
He threw those sinking fastballs, drove 'em crazy
But then he threw too hard, he hurt his UCL
He thought he'd have to bid the sport farewell

In his younger days they called him Tommy John
Best ball pitcher you ever laid eyes on
But Dr. Frank he knew just what to do
Took one spare tendon, sewed it up like new

Tommy John, what's that Band-Aid you have on
It's a brand new surgery, as yet untried
And did I hear you say you'd be pitching again someday
That Dr. Jobe's a mighty skillful guy (4X)
