My Beltran's Back

(Spoken:)
He went away and we hung around
And had better fielding every night
And when we wished he wouldn't return
People criticized us for not being nice

(Singing:)
My Beltran's back and we're gonna be in trouble
(Hey la, day la, my Beltran's back)
A lot of fly balls will be going for doubles
(Hey la, day la, my Beltran's back)
We weren't spreading lies, what we said was really tru-ue
(Hey la, day la, my Beltran's back)
So look out now, cause we're gonna be blu-ue
(Hey la, day la, my Beltran's back)

Hey, he looks like he is tryin'
But, he fields like he is iron

He's been gone for not enough ti-ime
(Hey la, day la, my Beltran's back)
Now he's back and things'll never be fi-ine
(Hey la, day la, my Beltran's back)
Judge is gonna wish that he was never bo-orn
(Hey la, day la, my Beltran's back)
He's stayin' on the bus for who knows how lo-ong
(Hey la, day la, my Beltran's back)

Now, his wheels are pretty rusty
Hey, our shorts will get all crusty
Every time he tracks one of those long fly ba-alls
(Wah ooooo, wah oooo)
We'll hope Jacoby gets there and 'Got it!' ca-alls
(Wah ooooo)
Wait and see!

My Beltran's back to try and save his reputation
(Hey la, day la, my Beltran's back)
When we wish he would take a permanent vacation
(Hey la, day la, my Beltran's back)

Yeah, my Beltran's back
(La-day-la, my Beltran's back)
Look out now, yeah, my Beltran's back
(La-day-la, my boyfriend's back)

I could see him comin'
(La-day-la, my boyfriend's back)
He was sort of runnin'
(La-day-la, my boyfriend's back)
Oh boy, now
(La-day-la, my boyfriend's back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....
