Is Hughes Is or Is Hughes Ain’t My Baby?

by David Bellel

Oh, I got a man that’s tempts the fates
Be still my heart or will it break
But I love him
Yes I hate him

Will batters love to come to plate?
Or be confused by a curve’s late break
Yes I want him
Yeah I intend to dump him
Can someone fix him?

Is Hughes is or is Hughes ain’t my baby?
Well, the way he’s pitching lately, makes me doubt
Hughes was still my baby, baby
Seems like my flame in your heart just gone out

Phil Hughes is a creature
That has always been strange
Just when you’re sure of him
You’ll find that he’s gone and made a change

Is Hughes is or is Hughes ain’t my baby?
Well, maybe Hughes can go to someone new
And we can get another arm much more true

 

Rauuuuul Be Seeing You

by David Bellel

Rauuuuul be seeing you;
In all the old, familiar home run places
That this Yankee heart of mine embraces;
All day through.

Bald man you still can play
In that big ball park across the way;
Watch our numbers swell
The sense of glee
At last Cash chose well.

Rauuuuul be seeing you;
In every summer’s day made gay;
But I don’t really mean that way;
Even though Obama says that’s okay
Games once lost will now be won
And when the season’s through;
I’ll be looking at first place
And I’ll be thanking you.

From the YouTube poster: “Gospel singer from the 50’s that switched to R&B music but never received the recognition she deserved on earth. She wrote this song and another popular song entitled, “Operator”.”  You can find out more about her on Wikipedia.
