I got my group break cards today (a parody)


Using your imagination, sing along to the tune of "If today was your last day" by Nickelback. Or just read along and look at the pictures. That's what I'm doing...


A good friend gave me some great advice
He said there's a group break and it's all right
You pick your team, gather up a lot of dimes
And then you go and visit joecollector's site
There's a risk you take, but its worth the ride


I got my group break cards today and I just gotta say
The cards are cool and really great
I got nice cards from all the packs
With great pictures on the wax
I can't believe the luck I had, I got my group break cards today.
I got, I got, I got my group pack cards today.


Bowman's Best Utley, Reyes, and Mauer
Zimmerman, Gorkys, and an auto Kyle
There's a Derrek Lee, Sizemore's quite a guy
And the Roger Clemens card looks nice
Why'd they scan so blue on my device?


I got my group break cards today and I just gotta say
The cards are cool and really great
I got nice cards from all the packs
With great pictures on the wax
I can't believe the luck I had


And then I got some A and G
Zimmerman bat card and three
Custer, Martis - one's mini
Six of these cards are showing gloves
And I'm thanking God above
for Squares of cardboard I do love in the group break cards today


I got my group break cards today
Peralta, Hafner game-used and a Scott Lewis
Martinez it's too late, here's Crowe's card
Berg is stacking his own cards


Shoppach's at the plate
Shin-Soo Choo and Grady Pride
Cliff, Travis, Jhonny
Sizemore steals another base with a slide


I got my group break cards today and I just gotta say
The cards are cool and really great
I got nice cards from all the packs
With great pictures on the wax
I can't believe the luck I had


I am left with cards, these three
Shin-Soo Choo smilin back at me
Tunnicliffe sails the seven seas
Carmona's wearing a white glove
And I'm thanking God above
JoeCollector's havin' fun
I got my group break cards today

A couple notes:
-- I did this in about 30 minutes, so if you enjoyed it, then you can marvel that I kicked it out so quickly. And if you thought it stunk, just remember I din't spend *too* much time on it (see, it works both ways).
-- I took the liberty of adding the chorus one more time at the end because, well, I had more scan than the song allowed. It's a parody. It's fun. It's a fun time.
-- *THANK YOU* to Jeff over at IamJoeCollector for holding these great monthly (and bonus) breaks!
-- Does every single box of A&G come with a guaranteed Tunnicliffe!?

Okay, technically, this is more than a couple notes. This officially counts as "some" notes, as two is a couple, three is a few, and four is some. I think if you have five or more, you just rework it into an additional paragraph. So, with that, and the fact I do not wish to add a whole other paragraph even though this single note alone qualifies as one, I hope you had fun!

Update:
In case following the lyrics was too hard with the pictures in the way, here is the whole song. Why? I don't know, he's on third and I don't give a darn!
