Bilingual
Like a lot of kids when I was young
I was buying baseball cards and bubblegum
A die-hard fan of big league ball
I'd read the stats and collect them all
I didn't put mine between my bicycle spokes
Or leave them at home unattended with my folks
I vowed to save them till I got old
Never tossed, never sold
Flipping, trading, collecting, saving
Waiting, hoping, dreaming, praying
Tod Flier, Donruss, Bowman
Big league on display
I'm so glad my mom and dad didn't throw mine away
Soon I discovered cars and girls
Punk rock and booze, the whole wide world
I was short on space, but remember what I said?
Cards stayed locked up under my bed
Late at night on Sunset Strip
I'd do my best to be cool and hip
I'd go home and let down my guard
Put my guitar away and take out all my cards
Flipping, trading, collecting, saving
Waiting, hoping, dreaming, praying
Keeping them around until a later day
I'm so glad my mom and dad didn't throw mine away
ย
Fast forward about 15 years later
I ran into some big stock trader
He said, "Baseball cards are a great growth item
Yours are top notch, I'd like to buy them"
Said I couldn't take money for them
He said, "What about some shares of a startup I'm in?
The stock went through the roof against all bets
And now I own the New York Mets"
Flipping, trading, collecting, saving
Waiting, hoping, dreaming, praying
Tod Flier, Donruss, Bowman
Big league on display
I'm so glad my mom and dad didn't throw mine away
