The Whiz Kids had won it , Bobby Thompson had done it,

And Yogi read the comics all the while. Rock n Roll was bein born,

Marijuana we would scorn, So down on the corner the National Pastime went on trial.

We're talkin baseball! (Kluzewski, Campanella), Talkin baseball! (The Man and Bobby Feller),

The Scooter, The Barber and the Newk, They knew em all from Boston to Dubuque,

Especially Willie, Mickey and the Duke.

Well Casey was winnin', Hank Aaron was beginnin',

One Robby goin' out, one coming in.

Kiner an' Midget Gaedel,

The Thumper an' Mel Parnell,

And Ike was the only one winnin' down in Washington!

We're talkin baseball! (Kluzewski, Campanella ), Talkin baseball! (The Man and Bobby Feller ),

The Scooter, The Barber and the Newk, They knew em all from Boston to Dubuque,

Especially Willie, Mickey and the Duke.

Now my old friend the Bachelor, Well he swore he was the Oklahoma Kid,

And Cookie played hookey, to go and see the Duke,

An' me I always loved Willie Mays , Those were the days!

Well now it's the eighties , an' Brett is the greatest.

An' Bobby Bonds can play for everyone,

Rose is at the Vet, Rusty again is a Met

An' the great Alexander is pitchin' again in Washington.

I'm talkin' baseball! (like Reggie, Quisenberry ),Talkin' baseball! (Carew and Gaylord Perry )

Seaver , Garvey, Schmidt an' Vida Blue , If Cooperstown is callin' it's no fluke,

They'll be with , Willie, Mickey an' the Duke.
