"Good Morning Baltimore" (to the tune of the same song title from the musical Hairspray) (new lyrics by Deanna Rubin, of course) (Dedicated to Eric Byrnes, you poor thing, getting uprooted so much.) BYRNES: Oh, oh, oh Woke up today Feeling the way I always do Oh, oh, oh Looking for somewhere That I can play Almost every day The trade deadline's on And once more I'm gone Away from Coors Field With my bat and glove Oh, oh, oh Sending me back To the fans and the league that I love Good morning Baltimore, Every day I can hear you roar Every night is a game for me Every crowd's like a symphony Good morning Baltimore, As I promise you runs I will score, The league's gonna wake up and see Baltimore and me Oh, oh, oh Look at my hair What 'do can compare with mine today? Oh, oh, oh, I've got my spikes and my bat and ball I'm ready to roll I go up to greet The fans in their seat They seem to say "Byrnesie, it's up to you." So, oh oh Please let me play 'Cause today I'll hit home runs for you! Good morning Baltimore Here's a field that I will explore There's a dent in the outfield wall It's a good place for a fly ball Good morning Baltimore As I open my new locker door The team's gonna come in and see Baltimore and me I see every pitch I make every throw I run every place that I should go I'm jumpin' to run when the ball leaves the mound So please hit it out here before I fall down! TEAMMATES: Before he falls down! BYRNES (& TEAMMATES): So, oh, oh Put me in coach You'll like my approach when I hit the ball Oh, oh, oh Something inside of me makes me race To get to first base The coach tells me no But my feet tell me go! It's like a calling I've never heard Oh, oh, oh Don't make me wait One more moment to take off for third! TEAMMATES: Good morning, good morning, He's gonna take off for third! BYRNES (& TEAMMATES): I love you Baltimore Every game's like an open door Every inning's a joy to me Every benching's a misery And I promise Baltimore That today, I can't wait anymore The league's gonna wake up and see Gonna wake up and see, Baltimore and me... TEAMMATES: Yes, more or less we all agree BYRNES: Baltimore and me... TEAMMATES: Today the league is gonna see BYRNES: Baltimore and me!
