I thought she was living in a fairy tale
When she said the Cards would take it all
They had spotty pitching
And sporadic hits
And the moves by Tony were insane

"They will take first place"
Now who could believe her?
There's no grace
To win it this time
They will flop
I didn't believe her
Couldn't deceive her
Hopes so high

Game one down, the Padres were not looking great
Three more games and Cards go to next round
Suddenly they're hitting
And critics admit
When we're in postseason all's fair game

Could they take first place?
Look at the relievers
No blown saves
And just one earned run
Golden gloves
Still didn't believe her
I won't bereave her
Of her pride

Now the Mets did do some
With the Carlos pair
Loaded in Game 7 when it cleared:

They were left on base
Am I a believer?
Make your case
With stats but you'll find
Reyes struck
Out a few Tigers
Rogers is wiser
Now it's tied

Can they win the race
With Carp, Soup, and Weaver?
Jones is scared
Of Pujols and co.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

I'm a believer...
