Let me tell a story
About a man Dwight Rortugal
Fell in with the wrong crowd
But got a second chance
Wasn't picked for college
Didn't make it in the major leagues
Agent called up out of the blue
Secured a move to the Far East
His family flew out to see him but barely recognised who they found
This kid from Brooklyn
He had made it big in the land of the rising sun
As he landed his final shot and the crowd went wild
He knew he had made it
Taking in his victory lap
Strike one
He let all the fame and fortune get into his head
His humble beginnings lost to the sands of time
30 years on retired at home but he's dying alone
Re-runs on the TV, memories fading fast
Strike two
