Ticky-Tack

 

To the tune of "Little Boxes"—with apologies to Malvina Reynolds and Pete Seeger.

Was a pitcher

A great pitcher

And he always pitched with ticky-tack

And he never lost the game.

Up in Pittsburgh

Down in Houston

He always pitched with ticky-tack

And he never lost the game.

Now this pitcher

Is our pitcher

'Cause he always pitched with ticky-tack

And he never lost a game.

But this pitcher

Our ace pitcher

They took away his ticky-tack

And it's driven him insane.

He lets up walks

He gives up hits

'Cause they took away his ticky-tack

And he's never been the same.
