I did not write this song. It was written by my friend, Sylvia. Please show her some love and let her know what a great job she did.
I think Rey's gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The Rey that is driving me mad
Is going away
Rey's got a ticket to ride
Rey's got a ticket to ri-i-ide
Rey's got a ticket to ride
But he don't care
He says that playing with me
Is bringing him down, yeah
And he could never be free
If he stays in town
Rey's got a ticket to ride
Rey's got a ticket to ri-i-ide
Rey's got a ticket to ride
But he don't care
I don't know 'bout. the stupid remark
He didn't do right
Didn't do right by me
Before he goes to play very far
He oughta do right
He oughta do right by me.
I think Rey's gonna be sad
I think is today, yeah
The Rey that is driving me mad
Is going away
Rey's got a ticket to ride
Rey's got a ticket to ri-i-ide
Rey's got a ticket to ride
But he don't care
I don't know 'bout. the stupid remark
He didn't do right
Didn't do right by me
Before he goes to play very far
He oughta do right
He oughta do right by me.
He says that playing with me
Is bringing him down, yeah
And he could never be free
If he stays in town
Rey's got a ticket to ride
Rey's got a ticket to ri-i-ide
Rey's got a ticket to ride
But he don't care
(Repeat and Fade)
Ordonez, don't care, Ordonez, don't care
Ordonez, don't care, Ordonez, don't care
Ordonez, don't care, Ordonez, don't care
December 18, 2002: On the evening of December 15, 2002, Rey Ordonez was traded from the Mets to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Despite some outstanding defense, for most Mets fans the trade didn't happen soon enough. My friend Sylvia e-mailed this song to me about twelve hours before the trade went down. When you wish for something, Syl, it happens in a hurry.
