Red Sox Postseason Ditty: "This October"

   This is a parody of Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night"  

    This October
  
Late October at the Fens
The Red Sox are champions
The World Series they did win.
Let the champagne flow again!

Tears of joy the fans have shed
Soldier’s helmet on Gomes’ head.
Players hoisting the trophy
Big Papi is MVP

   Beat the Cards in six, clinch the series at Fenway!
   Hooray!
   For the first time since nineteen hundred and eighteen. 
   Oh wow! 

This October…
The Red Sox first faced the Rays
Price and Moore’d seen better days
Maddon’s team got out-Fenway’ed

This October…
Series moved on to the Trop
Salty beaten by catwalk.
Koji’s human—we forgot!

This October
They dispatched the Rays in four
Peavy just let one run score
And then Koji slammed the door

This October…
Then the Tigers came to town
Game 1 saw the Sox shut down
Oh no-o-o!

Next October…
Do it all again! 
Next October
Do it all again! 

Game 2, Papi hit a slam
Game 3, Lackey was the man
Napoli hit a home run
All they needed was just one. 
Game 4 turned into a loss
Peavy no longer was boss
In Game 5 Nap led the way
Red Sox just one win away

    Shane Victorino hit a grand slam in Game 6—Yeah! Oh Yeah!
    Beat the Tigers and headed to the World Series!  Sweet!

This October
So the two best teams got in
Each with 97 wins
In the Fall Classic again

This October
The Sox blew Wainwright away
Cards’ bad defense made ‘em pay
Beltran took Papi’s slam away

This October
Wacha held the Red Sox down
And their defense screwed around
Breslow’s mojo left the mound

This October
Game 3 did not go well at all
Lost on an obstruction call—Now what the hell? 

Next October
Do it all again!
Next October
Do it all again! 

Buchholz throwing 86. 
He pitched four and then Felix
Papi’s pep talk hit the spot. 
Jonny hit a three run shot
Lackey pitched out of the ‘pen. 
Koji’s pickoff sealed the win.
Game 5, Lester was an ace.  
Put the Cardinals in their place.

  For Game 6 they were back at Fenway Park
  Sweet home!   Oh yeah! 
  Lackey on the mound, Victorino knocks in four!   SHANF!
 
This October
Yes they went from worst to first
Boston Strong, no talk of curse
And the Red Sox won the purse

This October. 
Three World Series wins, nine years
Reggae music in our ears
Fenway Park erupts in cheers!

Next October
Do it all again!
Next October
Do it all again!
