This site is dedicated to the ingenious 'songwriters' on Inside The Dodgers. We are a group of fanatic Dodger fans (redundancy intended) who like to vent our frustration by butchering other people's work.
All hail enchantedsunset, our leader and inspiration!
As Ned mulled last season...and his teams' future....
I pulled into Angeles, I was thinking it's another lost year; I just need some player to help me save my career. "Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bat?" He just grinned and shook my hand, and "Yes!", was all he said.
Take a load off Manny, take a load for free; Take a load off Manny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
I picked up the phone, I'd heard that the Red Sox were fried; When I saw old Frank and Jamie walkin' side by side. I said, "Hey, Frank, I got a great deal this time." A Hall of Fame hitter, and he won't cost you a dime."
Take a load off Manny, take a load for free; Take a load off Manny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
Go down, Mr. Torre, there's nothin' you can say It's just ol' Manny, and Manny's waitin' on the Judgement Day. "Well, Manny, my friend, what about those dreds I see?" He said, "Do me a favor, Joe, can I please keep some of those dreds for me?"
Take a load off Manny, take a load for free; Take a load off Manny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
Crazy Boras followed me, and he caught me in the sun. He said, "I will fix your team, if you'll just pay me a ton." I said, "Wait a minute, Boras, you know I'm a baseball man." He said, "That's okay, Ned, won't you pay me when you can."
Take a load off Manny, take a load for free; Take a load off Manny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
Catch a Cell Phone, now, to put me on the line My team is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time. To get back to Mr. Manny, you know he's the only one. Can save my job again and it's time to get it done.
Take a load off Manny, take a load for free; Take a load off Manny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
