No baseball, no Tigers...

No baseball, no Tigers, at least for a while
I can't figure out how to bring back my smile.

I guess there are books I've wanted to read
No baseball, no Tigers and that's what I need.

There's holiday shopping that needs to be done
No baseball, no Tigers, it wouldn't be fun.

I could go to Vegas --- that's always been nice
No baseball, no Tigers, no joy tossing dice.

What can  I do to fill up this lull?
No baseball, no Tigers, life is just dull.

Maybe I'll just look ahead to Thanksgiving
No baseball, no Tigers, no, life's not worth living.

I'll just have to wait until April is here
Yes baseball, Yes Tigers, life's full of good cheer!

How can I -- I must -- wait out the cold season
It's Baseball!  It's Tigers!  Yes, that was the reason!

I know that I'll say after winter's last blast
It's Baseball!  Tiger Baseball!  Thank God -- at last!
