We are still researching the rumor that the 2017 Houston Astros trained for this season by watching old Fred Astaire Movies all winter on the Turner Classic Movie Channel.

OUR ASTROS FANS CHORAL SALUTE TO THE 2017 WORLD SERIES

(harmoniously hummed with appropriate lyrically sung word adjustments to the old Fred Astaire song, “Cheek to Cheek” ~

Heaven, We’re in heaven
And our hearts beat so that we –  can hardly speak
And we hope to find the happiness we seek
When we’re dancing through the Series – cheek to cheek

Oh, Yes, heaven, We’re in heaven
And the cares that hung around us – through years bleak
Soon may vanish like – a gambler’s losing streak
When we’re dancing through the Series – cheek to cheek

How we hope to climb this mountain
And to reach the highest peak
But it will not thrill us half as much
As dancing – cheek to cheek

While the Negberts go on dissing
All our time spent – up the creek
They could not enjoy it half as much
As dancing – cheek to cheek

Dance with us, gods – this year is – Houston’s time

A season sublime – to make winning rhyme

With – Series – Our World Series –

And we’ll celebrate our winning – for a week

Then we’ll smile forever – dancing

Smile forever – dancing

Smile forever – dancing – cheek-to-cheeeeeeeeeek

VA-DA-BOOM ~ VA-DA-BOOM ~ BAH!!!
