            Based on Billy Joel's "Only the Good Die Young"



Come on Ortiz
Don't make us wait
They used your body as alien bait
Guess it all just came down to fate
You shouldn't have been the one....

Well they ignored your talent
and sent you away
Sent you to Hyperion and locked you away
But they never told you the price you'd pay.
The things you might have done

You know only the good die young
Only the good die young;                (Chorus)
Only the good die young.

We heard you ran with a dangerous crowd
Producers ain't too pretty  they aint too proud
They made us laugh a bit too loud
Aaah but that never hurt no one.

So come on Ortiz
Show us a sign
Send up a WSKR
We'll throw you a line
The computer console you're hidin behind
It never lets you have any fun...

(chorus)

You got a nice hair-cut and a big Cuban Kitchen Knife.
A blankie full of cats and those producer brats,
But Ortiz they didn't help save your life.   
We counted on Ortiz
But the producers don't aim to please.                               
They say there's a heaven for those who produce
Some say it's better but we say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with Ortiz
than flame with the producers
Ortiz is much more fun....

(chorus)

Ortiz is probably dead or in alien prison on Hyperion.
Ah they never cared for you.
Did they ever think of you?
Come on come on Ortiz don't make us wait
It's getting a bit too late.
It's just the simple question of fate
Wish you hadn't been the one...

(chorus)
