The Pecan Park Eagle

The Boogie Woogie Baseball Boy, The Ko-Killer Bee

(Sung to the tune and beat of “The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”;

If only Bette Midler or The Andrews Sister were here now.)

Song parody and lyrical misappropriation by

Bill McCurdy of The Pecan Park Eagle

He was a famous second baseman out in Houston way
He had a boogie style that no one else could play
He was the top man at his craft
But then his number was called, and he took off for The Hall

He’s bound for Cooperstown, as we sound Reveille
He’s the boogie-woogie baseball boy, the Ko-Killer Bee

They made him wait three years because they don’t give a damn,
The writers think that they’re the gods, but they’re just sliced ham

We Astro fans all understand
Because this day he’s now in, pass the gin, hire a band

Craig’s in at Cooperstown, as we sound Reveille
He’s the boogie-woogie baseball boy called Craig Biggio!

B! B! B! B! “B” for Biggio-nee!
