When I heard the news that Kris Bryant was coming to the Cubs last night I was in the middle of a 16-hour creative tizzy producing comedy content. When I work too much, I can't shut off my brain, and thus can't sleep. Added to this manic episode is the excitement of Kris Bryant coming up to the Cubs on a beautiful spring day at Wrigley for a game for which I have tickets.
Good for Theo giving fans what we all want as soon as we can have him!
At 4 o'clock this morning I brewed some coffee and wrote this song. Much to the chagrin of my neighbors, I recorded it a few short hours later.
The Sounds of Bryant
Hello Wrigley, my old friend
I’m watching baseball here again
Because Kris Bryant’s been promoted
Now the Cubs roster is loaded
The decision that Theo Epstein has made
Let him play
Coming up now: Kris Bryant
I had a dream we won it all
The champions of baseball
The Cubbies could never be champs
With Kris Bryant down in minor league camp
But the Cubs have brought Bryant up to the major leagues
Injuries
We need him now Kris Bryant
And Scott Boras is super pissed
Cause of the contract year they missed
The 12 service days they waited
Means his contracts not inflated
Yeah it might be wrong but fans don’t really care that it’s not fair
He’s a cash cow, Kris Bryant
Though his agent is annoyed
Cubbie fans are overjoyed
Cause we finally have a hitter
To make up for Brian Schlitter
And the Cubs said, NL Central pitchers
Are giving the home run balls and bullpen calls
Chase you from the mound Kris Bryant
