Throw strikes, throw strikes they say
Command the fastball, pound the zone
The fastball sets you up, sets them up
The hitters, it sets the hitters up
The fastball
The fastball sets up the slider
Sets up the curve ball
The fastball
Madison Bumgarner throws a fastball
And it is fast, his fastball
Not the fastest, but fast
Mad Bum they call him, or Bummey, or Maddie, or good
They call him good, they call him very good
He throws that fastball
He pounds the zone, Mad Bum pounds the zone
So young still
So young is Mad Bum
Fourth youngest pitcher ever to win a World Series game
A hero
A hero just old enough to drink the bubbly
He stumbled last night, Mad Bum did
He stumbled
He tumbled, really
A World Series hero tumbled
He tumbled
He pounded the zone with the fastball
The fastball that is fast
The fastball that sets up the slider, the curve
He pounded the zone
And the zone pounded back
Hit after hit after hit
Nine hits
Eight runs
One out
Not a hero
Not a hero on this night
Mad Bum is young, so young
So young he can barely drink the bubbly
And that fastball
That fastball is fast
That fastball will make him a hero again
