and you'll be back in town
if you don't say your prayers
When you played it down on the farm
and he's sharpened his spikes
But his kid hid his jersey,
Down in Toledo where nobody cares
if you don't say your prayers
When you're down on the farm
Sees a flashing red light
and he plays back the call
You've been traded out west
Who thinks he sees the buddies
with the ducks on the pond
As he flies over the lights of
and you slow down the team
Some men play for a World Series ring
Other men play upon lesser fields
Well I've been in the majors
You'll soon see the minors
if you don't say your prayers
To the angel of Major League Baseball
and you slow down the team
To the angel of Major League Baseball
To the angel who made you leave baseball
