Sure, he goes every fifth day,
But I don't like his WHIP
He's been giving up walks and runs
At an alarming clip
He can't rely on his fastball
I wonder if it's his grip?
I even began to dread the days he starts.

He's always had some troubles
With keeping concentration
When he's out there on the mound;
I can sense the frustration
In him and in the coaches
Over the pitch location.
I want this to just be a bump in the road

He's gotta have a better second half-
Can't have another gaff

How do you solve a problem like Marquis?
How do you get his head out of his ass?
How do you find a word that means Marquis?
Lackadaisical! Unfocused! Not throwing gas!

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell him,
Many a thing he ought to understand.
Tony and Dunc just pray
He listens to what they say.
How can Marquis make up for lost command?

Oh, how do you solve a problem like Marquis?
I know that someday he could be quite grand.

When I watch him I'm confused-
The ball is battered and abused
And I never know exactly what to think.
Unpredictable as weather,
He's as flighty as a feather.
He's a stud! He's number four! He's on the brink!

I know he's still pretty young,
And at least he has swung.
Maybe he's just needs to be under someone's wing.
He is great! He is wild!
He's a riddle! He's all riled!
He's a headache! He's an ace!
We want that ring!

How do you solve a problem like Marquis?
How do you get his head out of his ass?
How do you find a word that means Marquis?
Lackadaisical! Unfocused! Not throwing gas!

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell him,
Many a thing he ought to understand.
Tony and Dunc just pray
He listens to what they say.
How can Marquis make up for lost command?

Oh, how do you solve a problem like Marquis?
I know that someday he could be quite grand.
