The Brave Yankee

We said ‘goodbye John’ today  

What should we say  

A Brave Yankee he was  

Creating buzz  

Announcing home runs in the air  

Using a style entertaining, sparking flair 

Turning a routine afternoon affair  

Around  

Toasting Pinstripe town 

Even if the team was down  

Jeter, Rodriguez and Judge  

Success never budged   

Standing strong  

Waiting for the Liza and Frank Song  

Written by Kandor and Ebb  

Famous on Broadway many said  

But giving a Sterling performance  

Made everyone sing and dance  

Line up had the creative look  

Radio listening enjoying the personal hook 

Seemed written in the playbill book   

Holy Cow!  

Is where he is now 

Hearing how bout that  

When at bat  

He gets the call  

Joining Phil and Mel watching baseball
