The Baseball Project - A Boy Named Cy lyrics

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 you” 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 Cy Young 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 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 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 Cy Young Cy Young Cy Young
