While Waiting For The Egg To Hatch

Hope somebody else out there is as religious about "1776" as I am and can relate.

It's a megadeal, I say
They will cheer every clause
Every number

I wish I felt that way
That we won't still have
Phil Humber

But then again
The Mets are Mets
And wrought with implication

If they blow
This trade of trades
They'll need another nation

An agent, a GM and an ace
With lightning for an arm
It's a simple fact
To think that now we act
As midwives to a pact

We're waiting for the scratch, scratch, scratch
To be paid Johan Santana
Waiting for this trade to hatch
On this soggy Friday afternoon a
Fortnight before spring training

God knows the contract is high enough
To choke a giraffe
But will it draft Johan?

We're waiting for the swap, swap, swap
To soon be deemed official
Waiting until five o'clock
For the Wilpons to start doling out that
Citi Field naming money

God knows the pile is high enough
To solve the debt
But will it yield a Met?

Johan's gonna make big bucks
So he oughta make 'em at Shea
Brother, it would suck, suck, suck
If twenty million stood between us
And penciling in Santana

I'm gonna click on Metsblog again
And hope that Omar has grabbed a pen
To make sure Johan
Belongs to us!

I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna wait in vain

Please Mister Browser, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a update on the web for me
(Please, Please Mister Browser)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that team of mine

There must be some word today
From the team that plays at Shea
Please Mister Browser, look and see
If there's an update, an update for me

I've been sittin' here waitin' Mister Browser
So patiently
For just a blog, or just an update
Sayin' he's gonna pitch for me

"We're waiting for the scratch, scratch, scratch"

Lol, love that movie.

I don't know if Fafif was on the old mofo, but 1776 has a definite long history
of being talked about on Mets' forums for some reason.
