The whiz kids had won it
Bobby Thompson had done it
And Yogi read the comics all the while
Rock ‘n’ roll was being born
Marijuana we would scorn
So down on the corner
The national past-time went on trial
We’re talkin’ baseball
Kluzuski Campanella
Talkin’ baseball
The man and Bobby Fella
The Scooter, the Barber, and the Newc
They knew them all from Boston to Dubuque
Especially Willie, Mickey, and the Duke
Well Casey was winning
Hank Aaron was beginning
One Robbie going out, one coming in
Kiner and Midget Cadell
The Thumper and Mel Parnell
And Ike was the only one winning down in Washington
I’m talkin’ baseball
Kluzuski Campanella
Talkin’ baseball
The man and Bobby Fella
The Scooter, the Barber, and the Newc
They knew them 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 hooky
To go and see the Duke
And me I always loved Willie May
Those were the days
Well now it’s the 80’s
And Brett is the greatest
And Bobby Bonds can play for everyone
Rose is at the Vet
Rusty again is a Met
And the great Alexander is pitching again in Washington
I’m talkin’ baseball
Like Reggie, Cueez and Berry
Talkin’ baseball
Carew and Gaylord Perry
Seaver, Bobby Schmidt and Vida Blue
If Cooperstown is calling, it’s no fluke
They’ll be with Willie, Mickey, and the Duke
Willie, Mickey, and the Duke (Say hey, say hey, say hey)
It was Willie, Mickey and the Duke (Say hey, say hey, say hey)
I’m talkin’ Willie, Mickey and the Duke (Say hey, say hey, say hey)
