Shelby’s mother says Shelby is good, too good to play for these chumps.
Everybody knows that Shelby is trying, too bad the offense’s a dump.
Shelby’s mother says “Shelby should be happy,
So why can’t he leave this bad team?”
And Gonzalez says “tip your hat more” for the next 3 seasons,

Please Mrs. Miller, let Shelby play with us.
He is almost all we have.
Please Mrs. Miller, just need to tell him
Thank you.

Michael Conforto got Shelby one time, and one more run was all Shelby gave.
Three days against the Phillies gave Shelby hope, but this offense is shame.
Shelby’s mother says “cut all 3 Johns and take Cox with you as well.
And Gonzalez says “tip your hat more” for the next 3 seasons.

Please Mrs. Miller, let Shelby play for us.
We’ll only keep him awhile.
Please Mrs. Miller, we don’t want to say “Goodbye.”

Andrew McKirahan let two more runs in,
This bullpen is still quite a mess.
A. J. Pierzinski threw somebody out.
How is it that he’s now our best?
Braves can still catch the Phillies,
particularly if they play more like this.
And Gonzalez says “tip your hat more” for the next 3 seasons.

Please Mrs. Miller, we do like Shelby.
We understand why you are sad.
Please Mrs. Miller, we just want to be less bad.
