Daily paper's on the rack -
Sporting News is in the back.
Things are really looking black -
Home team's getting off the track.
Everything is out of whack -
Paying players all that jack.
How to get those bats to crack?
No one seems to have the knack.
Time to try another tack -
Give the manager the sack?
Get another old-time hack -
To be leader of the pack.
Can he teach them to attack?
I don't have the answer, Mac!
