In 1970
In honor of his first ever
Twenty game season
A small group of Cleveland's finest
Were selected by the club
To take Sam out to supper at Pat Joyce's
A plain invitation, Sam figured
To paint the town,
Red, white, blue, orange, green, and polka dot
Not to mention practice his spitter
Off the observation deck of the Terminal Tower.
When the night's feativities had finally
Wended to a close
And Sam was ditched in front of his
Rented penthouse in Pepper Pike
He had painted town
In colors that would draw
Picasso's envy.
Off some fool's credit card
He'd called girls in
L.A., Frisco, Minneapolis, and Denver
And then he remembered his buddy - his
High school catcher back in Pittsburgh -
And called him, too.
