Les Paul was named for a famous guitar
Henry Ford was named for a mighty good car
Here’s a guy who could never be ignored
His parents named him for a famous award
But even with the famous name
And the fact that he won 500 games
No matter how the game was scored
He never won that damn award
Cy Young
Cy Young
If I have a kid I’m gonna name him anything but Cy Young
Tommy John was 13-3
When his arm snapped and he went in for surgery
His doc said “you won’t believe it’s true
We’ve got a procedure that’s named for youâ€
But old Cy just didn’t share his luck
Couldn’t grab a break or a buck
Man, he would have won 4 or 5
If they’d had that award when he was alive

If I have a kid I’m gonna name him anything but Cy Young

Cy Young
If I have a kid I’m gonna name him anything but Cy Young
Look at the guys who won that plaque
Some of them ought to give it back
Hentgen, Hoyt, Drabek, Denny—they won plenty
Cy didn’t win any

Cy Young
If I have a kid I’m gonna name him anything but Cy Young
Cy Young
Cy Young
If I have a kid I’m gonna name him anything but
… Clayton, Sandy, Dock, Félix …
Anything but
