Let's get it on. Livan Livan calls El Duque into town He says, “come to the U.S.” Coast Guard ain’t playing games But now he’s pitching for the finest team in town Livan, Livan is his brother Gets paid a lot to play Kicks that knee… up high To his chin, then slings the ball your way He was born in Cuba ’65, maybe ‘69 Then the New York Yanks said come to play And under the sun Left his family on that Christmas Day And his brother’s Livan And he pitched real good, man Yeah his brother’s Livan Another in the Hernandez clan His half-brother’s Livan And he shall be real good, man And he’ll outpitch Livan Duque throws the eephus on the mound October, he just thrived Now he - serves up longballs all day Stands on the big hill watching them fly And Duque, he wanted to be a Yankee Leave Cuba far behind Get on that boat and go sailing Well, Duque, Duque kinda lied He was born in Cuba ’65, maybe ‘69 The New York Yanks said come to play And under the sun Left his family on that Christmas Day And his brother’s Livan And he pitched real good, man Yeah his brother’s Livan Another in the Hernandez clan His half-brother’s Livan And he shall be real good, man And he’ll outpitch Livan

Sorry if there are format issues - I'm doing this from my crackberry. [Url=http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/the_police/murder_by_numbers.html]lyrics[/url] [Url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U9-pvCccsg]video[/url] Fool With The Numbers Once that you've decided on a birthdate First you make a boat of tree bark And then set sail early in the morning Then make sure you are not eaten by sharks You do not need prove any persecution You just say that you’ve got a special talent If you can propel a fastball by an Oriole Then you might get your own merchandise tent So just fool with the numbers, twenty eight It’s the age I was then, there was no debate Fool with the numbers, sixty nine It’s the year I was born, that helped me get signed Now if you want to obtain the utmost dollars And become a great Major League success Then you must say ‘no’ to U.S. asylum And get yourself a Costa Rican address Because older players aren’t as desired I knew that when I got into my boat You can say Cuban birth records aren’t accurate So tell them you’re just old enough to vote So just fool with the numbers, thirty two? No, I was a kid in my Yankee debut Fool with the numbers, Livan who? Here’s a wake-up call fellas, he’s lying too Now you all know the ending to my story One day I may get to the hall of fame I lied and in return I got the glory And I won all of those post-season games I fudged and reached the top of my profession At almost twice the age of Carlton Fisk For baseball is the sport of the dishonest So at least my name won’t have an asterisk So just fool with the numbers, no grey hair Not my ‘Just For Men’, don’t know how it got there Fool with the numbers, I’m so young Who are the Beatles? I grew up with ‘Wang Chung’, have fun…. Twenty Eight… No debate… Thirty Two…? My Debut… Sixty Nine… Contract signed… Fool with the numbers, not that old Cubans look older because they’re hand-rolled Fool with the numbers, tooth decay I’m now able to take from my IRA, it’s a Roth……..

Come on. Why don't you guys make it a best-of-7. Good job on this one.

You know, honestly -- I didn't think the first one would have been close; I loved my song and thought I had an easy win. And this time, I hated my song and didn't expect to get any votes at all! Just goes to show you sometimes. Congrats, and nice job!
