It was announced Monday that parody superstar Weird Al Yankovic will be returning to the studio this week to record a new single based around the 2012 Gotye hit “Somebody That I Used To Know”. The track titled, “The Yuni That We Used To Know” will be a departure from Weird’s usual subject matter of food and polka, instead focusing on Milwaukee Brewers’ utility infielder Yuniesky Betancourt.

“Sports aren’t normally the kind of subject matter that I like to write about, but this song just sort of wrote itself,” Weird said.

NotBrewers.com was lucky enough to get our hands on a copy of what we are being told are the current lyrics to the song. Enjoy!

The Yuni That We Used To Know

Now and then I think of when you were last a Brewer
Like how you played defense that made me cry
Told myself that you were bad on D
So disappointed in your apathy
But that was then and it’s an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of weakness
A defensive black hole between the 3 and 5
When you came back it did not make sense
Your bat was now key to our offense
No one predicted that the bad times would soon be over

But you started to knock ‘em out
Made it like ‘11 never happened and you started to win us over
Now we don’t even mind your glove
Who is this welcome stranger, this diamond in the rough
Routine grounders make you stoop so low
Setting new personal records with flashy offensive numbers
I guess I have to say it though
You’re not playing like the Yuni that we used to know

You’re not playing like the Yuni that we used to know
You’re not playing like the Yuni that we used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed us over
Had us believing that the bad days were over and done
‘Cause no one wants to live that way
Thinking back on every busted play
We thought that you could let it go
But now you’re playing like the Yuni that we used to know

Now you can’t seem to knock ‘em out
It’s like ‘11 never ended and you’re back to screw us over
And we can’t really stand your glove
Every bungled play makes watching you really tough
Routine grounders make you stoop so low
Setting new personal records with your poor defensive numbers
We thought that you could let it go
But now you’re playing like the Yuni that we used to know

[x2]
The Yuni
(That we used to know)
The Yuni
(Now you’re playing like the Yuni that we used to know)
