Everyone's so kind and humble
Don't you know that I can see right through it?
Keeping all their comments down
You know it ain't a boast if you can do it
And everybody says "Say Hey"
(Hey, Willie!)
And everybody says "Did you see that kid play?"
I gotta give the kid a hand
But there's nothing that he can do better than I can
Ted fucking Williams
People say it's hard to like
A man who doesn't fail and show he's human
But failure's not a sign of grace
It only means you don't know what you're doin'
And everybody says "Hey, Mick!"
Mantle this, Mantle that, it makes me sick
It's just so hard to see
Why do they like him better than me?
I'm Ted fucking Williams
And everybody says "Hey, Duke!"
Like everything I did was some kind of fluke
I gotta give the Duke a hand
But there's nothing that he can do better than I can
Ted fucking Williams
