#598. Lemonade!

In honor of PNC Park going cashless.  In honor of this new brand of "reverse ATMs" (as if the customary version of ass-to-mouth isn't tasteless enough).  In honor of the game losing all of it's human vendors and employee pizzazz.  In honor of Major League baseball rapidly accelerating toward its demise...

Let us pay tribute to the infamous Lemonade guy.  May he rest in peace.

I've always thought that "the anguished oink of Lemonade man" would make for a really good t-shirt at one of those "Free Shirt Friday" games.

Lemonade!

Oh, Nutting, Pittsburgh Pirates for life really makes us fans guffaw
The plan for rebuilding isn’t coming PNC Park’s still your home
Oh, Nutting  I can hear yinzers a-whinin’, you should be a garden gnome
That Mr. Baseball clown is so shallow and his dick’s not very long

Last place what’s up, don’t cry or pout
Make more money for me
The lemonade is your pay grade
Deceived by the county

Vendors have to play the game
Run the bases all the same
Ain’t got no game plan

Oh, Nutting, You aren’t part of the fam Wheeling Feeling right on instead
Ballboy said, “Why does our team nosedive? It’s as if we got no street cred.”

Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
Oh, Mama I can hear you a-cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long

The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty

Never more to go astray
This will be the end today
Of the wanted man

Oh, Mama, I've been years on the lam and had a high price on my head
Lawman said, 'Get him dead or alive.' Now it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear Mama, I can hear you cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long

The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty

Never more to go astray
The judge will have revenge today
On the wanted man

Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long

The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty

Never more to go astray
This will be the end today
Of the wanted man

The wanted man
And I don't wanna go, oh, no
Oh, Mama, don't let them take me
No, no, no, I can't go
Hey, hey
