Songs For The Season

It's the holiday season- and what better way to celebrate than with a Sox-ified Christmas carol? Thanks to Gerry Goldstein, now you can do just that...

"O Papelbon"
sung to the tune of "O Tannenbaum"
click play below to listen to the normal song, sung by Nat King Cole









O Papelbon, O Papelbon, Thy fastball does amaze us.
O Papelbon, O Papelbon, To new heights does it raise us.
When it's hard and letter-high, It hums in tight and buzzes by.
O Papelbon, O Papelbon, Thy fastball does amaze us.

But Papelbon, O Papelbon, How sorry is thy dancing.
O Papelbon, O Papelbon, Improve that awful prancing!
On the mound thou comes up big, But spare us, please, that Irish jig.
O Papelbon, O Papelbon, How sorry is thy dancing.

O Papelbon, O Papelbon, We love thy boyish smile.
But Papelbon, O Papelbon, Thou needs to change thy style.
Please kindly lose that fat cigar, And put away thy air guitar.
O Papelbon, O Papelbon, We love thy boyish smile.

O Papelbon, O Papelbon, Thy pitches do sustain us.
But Papelbon, O Papelbon, Thy wardrobe it does drain us!
With other teams all wilted now, We're forced to see thee kilted now.
O Papelbon, O Papelbon, Thy pitches do sustain us.

O Papelbon, O Papelbon, Despite this carping carol,
O Papelbon, O Papelbon, No matter thy apparel!
For all that we could care, Pitch in thy underwear!
O Papelbon O Papelbon,Thy fastball does amaze us!

And if that's not enough for you, how about this little ditty, created by Kyle Andree? (hat tip to: Bryanna via Ladies...)

"Don't Trade Jacoby" by Kyle Andree
click play below to listen









Hey Theo I got something to tell ya, about a certain trade with Minnesota,
Yeah Johan he's the man, and to get him do whatever you can.
But there's just one player that just cant go, and I'll give you one hint he's a Navajo.

Don't trade Jacoby to Minnesota, please don't say that I never told 'ya..
When he's a Hall of Fame center fielder,
Yeah Theo Epstein you're gonna feel dumb.

Who cares about the Twins these days, now that Torii Hunter went to L.A.
All they got now is Delmon Young, soon just like his brother he'll be a bum.
We can't send Jacoby to the Metrodome, because Fenway Park is his true home.

Don't trade Jacoby to Minnesota, please don't say that I never told 'ya.
When he's a Hall of Fame center fielder,
Yeah Theo Epstein you're gonna feel dumb.

In 33 games he hit 3 home runs, it's better than our resident right field bum,
And at the tender age of 24, he's a better looking version of Grady Sizemore.
Give em Lester, Lowrie, and Coco, but our boy Jacoby just cannot go.

But if he does go I'll always know, that by stealing second base,
He won me a free taco, so I could stuff my face.

Don't trade Jacoby to Minnesota, please don't say that I never told ya
When he's a Hall of Fame center fielder,
Yeah Theo Epstein you're gonna feel dumb.

Nooo, he needs to keep the jig. And I wouldn't mind the kilt.

Do pirates ever wear kilts? Other than ol' Paps, I mean.

Ahh Projo, you never cease to amuse me. Also gimme a few days and I can whip up a Red Sox Christmas Carol...I've had a few in my head but since Mike Lowell was re-signed, the first one was rendered obsolete.

Please do, Piney- and share with us.

Liza- maybe if it's an especially pirate-y kilt?

A real gem about Jacoby. No, he must not go and Theo will be a dumb bunny if he trades him. Well said.
