“Broiler in the Wind” - A Tribute to Carlos Lee

(set to the music of Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind”)

Goodbye Carlos Lee

Though I never knew you at all

You always gave your 60%

While all the others gave their all

They came out of the bullpen

And they whispered in to your head

They set you on a treadmill

And said cut out banana bread

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a broiler in the wind

Never knowing who to come to

When a shake came to an end

And I would’ve liked to have served you

But I was on break just then

The broiler burned out long before

That Whopper reached your chin

Goodbye, Carlos Lee. Astros fans the world over will miss you forever!
