"Ain't That A Shame"

It made me sigh seein’ Nats’s streak die
in their fourth game.
’Twasn’t bats to blame.
Ain’t that a shame?
A BB blew the game!


It broke my heart when a 5-run start
went down the drain.
But they tied again.
Ain’t that a shame?
A BB blew the game!

“Oh, well,” say I, today they’ll fly
to the mid-west plain
and win again.
Ain’t that a shame --
Cards'll try in vain?

St. Louie’s my birthplace but I
did not remain.
I moved away ’n’ –
ain’t that a shame? --
a Nats fan became.

I’ll yell tonight when Looper’s right
arm’s rendered tame
and Perez’s name,
like in 1st game,
ain’t got no shame.
