Jim Williams called me to tell me about Manny's problems. The parody was written by the two of us on the phone.

Manny
A Parody of Barry Manilow’s Mandy
New lyrics by Steve Bryant and Jim Williams

I remember every game,
You’d forget just why you came.
Falling as you run,
Stumbling ‘round the bases.
Not running out ground balls,
And other disgraces.

Everyone knows you can play,
You had problems everyday.
Fighting with your team, a pain in the fanny
Everyone said, it’s Manny being Manny

Oh Manny,
I wonder what drugs you were takin’?
Now they sent you away.
Oh Manny
All the money that you won’t be makin’
A third of your pay.
Oh, Manny.

Looks like you’ve run out of time.
Your legacy has turned to slime
All of your homers
A drug fueled facade,
Your fans are heartbroken,
You’re just like A-Rod

Oh Manny,
Well, you took PEDs without sayin'
Now they' sent you away, Oh Manny.
2 months before you can start playin’,
You’ve become a cliché. Oh Manny

Looks like they got you.
And they got you good.
Were you taking those drugs,
To restart your manhood?

Oh Manny,
I wonder what drugs you were takin’?
Now they sent you away.
Oh Manny
All the money that you won’t be makin’
A third of your pay.
Oh, Manny.

Oh Manny,
Well, you took PEDs without sayin'
Now they sent you away, Oh Manny.
2 months before you can start playin’,
You’re a cliché.
