the arm of gold
There once was a man named Heyward
With baseball skills never wayward
At over three WAR
Like he did so before
Just as the Cardinals had wagered.
With baseball skills never wayward
At over three WAR
Like he did so before
Just as the Cardinals had wagered.
At the start of the year he labored
His presence no-longer favored
But with an arm of gold
This girl sure was sold
This girl sure was sold
For the love of God SIGN JASON HEYWARD.
