Imai Blew

Imai Blew

(With apologies to Harry Akst & Grant Clarke)

Imai blew.
Imai blew.
There’s no deal. Never real.

We should sue.

Imai blew.
Astro coup.
They’ve no plan. For Japan.
I am through.


Was a time
The Yankees were number one.

It's a crime…
What they let this team become.  Lordy,

Will they pay?
Not today.
Now he's gone, our hopes too.
Imai blew.

I had to look this one up. I hadn't thought of that song in a long, long time. But your rewrite is spot on, as Hal's yachting pals might say.
