I had a mild case of Mariner FeverNot a very bad case, but a case just the same I was casually intrigued by the citywide fervorAll stirred up by each baseball gameSo I came home one night with my Mariner FeverMy wife was immune but the damage was doneWhen I turned on the game to appease my addictionShe went out and purchased a gunHere's to Randy and Edgar and Tino and JuniorDave Neihaus, the Groz, and to Joey and JayThey're the ones who infected the Emerald CityWith something that won't go awayI went to a doctor for Mariner FeverShe said she was sure it would weaken right downWhen the astro-turf pollen inside of the KingdomeHad settled in some other townSoon the plague had gone eastward and made it to ClevelandThe folks in Ohio were not very pleasedThey were up to their ears in some Indian virusSystemically taunted and chronically teasedHere's to Sojo and Bosio and Benes and BlowersLetras de cancionesTo Belcher and Strange and to luck and to LouThey're the ones who infected a whole population Who had nothing better to doSo if you were afflicted with Mariner FeverRemember that help is a phone call awayThere's a 1-800 number for special diseasesErupting on Election DayIt's a hot-line to action, the State LegislatureSo ever-responsive with votes on the lineWith emergency sessions to build some new ballparkWhen the old one is working just fineThe old one is working just fineHere's to Norm Rice (the mayor) and Lowrey (the governor), and Mariner FeverAnd to all of the folks who stood up for the teamIf they made the same effort to fight against homelessnessHunger and AIDSUnemployment, and ignorancecrime and confusionInjustice, intoleranceRacists and drug dealsAnd domestic violenceThat would be okay with meI'd have Mariner Fever with glee From Letras Mania
