THE JEFF ‘N BRAD CHAMPIONSHIP SONG
(Sung to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies Theme Song)
Let me tell you a story
About a man named Brad
Hangin’ in the winter
Feelin’ kind of sad
Until one day
While sittin’ on the can
He got an instant message
From the Magazine Man
Winick, that is
The Big Macher*
“Listen up closely
Here’s what you’re gonna do
You’re giving me your Putz
And Bob Abreu, too
And then come June,
I’m taking even more …
Vazquez! Manny!
You’ll give until you’re sore.”
So Brad did as told
And Jeff began to rise
In 2007
He’ll surely take the prize
And that’s the way it stands
Until 2008
When Brad told Jeff
He must reciprocate …
*(To Fruiter, Buddha, and Barrett: “Macher” is Yiddish for Big Shot.
Since Kerber and Gammons live in Highland Park and Buffalo Grove, I
assume they already know the language.)
