Zambrano was your horse
Zambrano was your train
Zambrano who you brought in
To get the job done
But Piniella yanked Zambrano
Tied at one after six
And the next guy got lit up
And you’ve lost Game One
Piniella later said
Gonna need him Sunday
Gonna need Zambrano
This was only Game One
But that one got away
And the couple after that
And sometimes, sometimes
Sunday never –
Sometimes Sunday never comes
Sometimes Sunday never comes
Sometimes life is a five-game series
And Sunday never comes
The Cubs is done
For another long winter
Zambrano can pack his
Elbow in ice
Piniella yanked Zambrano
Zambrano is done, and
Sometimes, sometimes
Sunday never –
Sometimes Sunday never comes
Sometimes Sunday never comes
Sometimes life is a five-game series
And Sunday never comes
(lyrics: Dan Bern)
