Goodbye, Wally Z
Though know you I did not
You had the boy band looks
And a nice looking jump shot
The haters tried to hate
They whispered into your brain
Goddamnit Wally, pass…
To the refs you did complain

And it seems to me that in your head
You’re still prom king number one
Never knowing who to pass to
When the doubles come
But those triples look too good
Too good to resist
Your ankles gave out long before
Your ego ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Miami created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
When you called timeout
Oh the press, they hounded you
All that PJ had to say
Was @#(*&$#@#($*&@#($*&@!!

Goodbye, Wally Z
From the young man in the 25th row
It must be lonely at the top
But to Cleveland you must go
