"Mets On The Cable" (Fred Wilpon) To the tune of "Cats in the Cradle" [youtube:d1gpdeow]KUwjNBjqR-c[/youtube:d1gpdeow] My child arrived just the other day Came into the world in the usual way But there's buildings to buy and bills to pay I loved my team, but they went away But Jeffy talked 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, Dad I know I'm gonna be like you." And the Mets are on TV and the game's at noon Wearin' the blue but the black'll come soon Go bring Seaver home, Dad I don't know when, but we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then My son turned ten just the other day He said, "Thanks for the team, Dad, but they can't play Can you teach 'em to throw?" I said "Well, someday, I got a lot to do." He said "that's okay." And he walked away but smile never dimmed And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah I know I'm gonna be like him." And the Mets are on cable and the game's at noon Wearin' the blue but the black'll come soon Won the World Series, Dad I don't know when, but we'll do it all again You know we'll have a good time then We borrowed some money just the other day So much from a man so we could pay for Bay "Fred, I'm proud of you, won't take you for a ride" He shook my hand and said with a smile "What I'd really like, Fred, is to borrow more bucks please Need it now 'fore my as-sets get seized." But the Mets are on cable and the game's at noon Wearin' the blue but the black'll come soon Will they buy the black, Dad? You know they will, we'll make the money then, Dad You know we'll have a good time then I'm never gon' retire, never gon' go away Called Jay-Z up the other day Said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind" He said, "I'd love to, Fred, if I can find the time You see Robbie wants the money and I do too And it's sure nice talking to you, Fred But I won't get much money from you." And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me Don't care what they think of me Oh boy, they don't like me But the Mets are on cable and the game's at noon The TV station's mine, Willets Point will come soon Built myself a park and I don't care when, but I'll live forever there, man I know I'll have a good time there

That's the better fo the two "Catses," for my money, but I went with the Debts.

Both great. I also opted for Lenny. I'm glad I'm not in the contest this year - I'd get slaughtered!

"Cats" is just too attractive/familiar/appropriate not to set a Mets-related father-son parody to. Harry Chapin called his songs "stories."

Lenny! Lenny! Lenny! Lenny!
