When the Astros first got Pettitte Thought they might get Clemens, too. So, I got my group together And said, "This is what we'll do, I said, "I got a letter From the Astros in the mail I can order us group tickets Now, before they go on sale!" December 22nd, Was the date that they had set But not all of my friends Had made their minds up yet I faxed the order early To make sure that it was done But then I called to tell them That I wanted to add one. The nice young man I spoke with Asked me for my name And who my rep was last year And sent me to the same As time went by more people Wanted to sign on The order went from twenty-three On up to thirty-one. Then we found where we were sitting Right up against the rail And for season-ticket holders Tickets went on sale Some other friends came asking If they could have seats too, Eventually the order Ended up at forty-two The public bought their tickets In fifteen minutes flat And now I found still other friends Who weren't in on that They hoped I had some tickets That others might not use I had to tell them, "Sorry, You had your chance, you lose" A man came to the rescue With star upon his sleeve He said, "Ma'am, I have your tickets, Your block of twenty-three. I know they said it's sold out, But we have your order here It was dated in December, You have tickets, never fear." I didn't quite believe him So I called my rep to see She couldn't find a record Of that block of twenty-three But in my mailbox this evening I found a print receipt So I know I'll have those tickets I know I'll have those seats. When I ask you next December If you want to sit with me I might not be so lucky With my block of twenty-three You'd better sign on early If you really want to come Or you just might have to watch the game From on your couch at home.
