There’s A New Song About Ozzie Smith

I imagine that Ozzie in that pic above is jamming out to some dope beats.

Side note: What is that little insignia under the bill of his cap? I can’t be sure, but it looks pretty cool. If he had played in Jeter’s era, that would have been all over a bunch of Nike gear.

Anyway.

There’s a new song out. And it’s all about Ozzie.

The Riverfront Times is reporting that a Rhode-Island based band called ‘The Low Anthem’ has a cut on their new album simply entitled ‘Ozzie’.

Let’s have a listen…

MOVE OVER LEMONADE. TAKE A SEAT PABLO. SORRY VIEWS. We’ve got the Grammy sewn up for album of the year.

Was there even a slight chance this wasn’t going to rule? Here are the lyrics courtesy of the RFT:

Ozzie Smith was born on my birthday
December 26th, the day after Christmas
In my heaven there’s a grounder and it might go through
Not while Ozzie’s got it and we’re turning two

I always wished I could be like Ozzie Smith
Fielding grounders with ease and doing backflips
Playing baseball all day long until the sun sets
I don’t think it can get any better than that

Thirteen consecutive gold glove awards should make you pause
Cause no one was better in the Eighties than the Wizard of Oz
Take Me Out To The Ballgame should amend its scouting report
It should say One, Two, Three strikes you’re out if Ozzie’s at short

I always wished I could be like Ozzie Smith
Fielding grounders with ease and doing backflips
Playing baseball all day long until the sun sets
I don’t think it can get any better than that

Bury me in my Ozzie jersey when my body hits the fan
I’m sorry Dizzy, I’m sorry Gibson, I’m sorry Stan
Bury me in that number 1 I’ll be grinning when the piper pipes
Me and Ozzie are the slickest middle infield in the afterlife

I always wished I could be like Ozzie Smith
Fielding grounders with ease and doing backflips
Playing baseball all day long until the sun sets
I don’t think it can get any better than that

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZZZZZZZIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
