I Miss the Steroid Era

I miss the steroid era
I miss the good old days
50-year old pitchers throwin 100-miles an hour
100-pound shortstops hitting with power
I miss the steroid era
I miss the good old days

Went to a ballgame the other day
Skinny guys in baggy pants, hooray
Saw a bunt and a steal and hit and run
Pitchers duel, it was one to one (yawn)

I miss the steroid era
I miss the good old days
Sosa and McGwire hitting 60 a year
Old guys hitting bombs at the end of their career
I miss the steroid era
I miss the good old days

We miss the hat sizes–big as the sun
Home run derbies all across the nation
Where have you gone, Bracy Anderson
We miss you and your 50-homer – aberration

I miss the steroid era
I miss the good old days
Ken Caminiti- isn’t it a pity
Roger Clemens- flowers turned to lemons
Barry Bonds- where have you gone
I miss the steroid era
I miss the good old days!
