R.A. Dickey is my favorite Mets pitcher. Aladdin is my favorite Disney movie. Put them together, and, well...
(Click and sing along!)
Omar Minaya: You'll give me money to sign Ollie
Fred Wilpon: Must give you money to sign Ollie...Oh? What is that? That music! Uh? Hee hee! Omar, you must come see this!
Say "Yay, R.A. Dickey"!
Say "Yay, R.A. Dickey"!
Hey! Clear the way for the superstar!
How knew?
What he threw!
Batter says "au revoir"
Oh come!
Be the first on your block to see this guy!
Make way!
Here he comes!
Clap hands! Bang cowbells!
Watch as all the batters cry!
Oh Dickey!
Fabulous he!
Pitcher at Citi!
Genuflect
Gotta respect
Mr. Dickey
Now, try your best to stay calm
Watching him pitch with aplomb
Batters return to the dugout and worry
It's Dickey!
Fabulous he!
Pitcher at Citi!
Ball moves well
Batter death knell
Definitely!
He blanked the real scary Phils
Sent them packing back to the hills
Who's got plenty of mad skillz?
Why, it's Dickey!
He hits eighty-five with his good fastball
And the knuckler
It hits fifty-three
When it comes to exotic-type pitches
With much ballyhoo,
I'm telling you, it causes much agony
It's Dickey!
Awesome is he!
Pitcher at Citi!
That movement!
How can I speak?
Buckles the knee
Well, get up into your chair
Order your food and prepare
To gawk and marvel and stare at, at Dickey!
He does lots of work for the charities
(He likes the helping, he likes the helping)
And havarti is his favorite cheese
(On sandwiches, yum sandwiches)
He's got fans, he's got teammates and junkies
They all love him, up to the brim
Quotes bursting with poignancy
Oh Dickey!
Oh Dickey!
Oh Dickey!
Glamorous he!
Pitcher at Citi!
He's the best
Gotta confess
Definitely
And that, you Met fans, is why
I hope he never says bye
His knuckleball will go down in Mets lore
He puts up the stats
That you cannot ignore
He's got a degree
He comes from Tennessee
He is number forty-three!
Say "Yay"!
For it's R.A.!
