Yankee Fan

Who’s pitching tonight? Him? – Oh he’ll do alright His curveball’s so tight Yankee Fan Be it Clemens, Mussina or Meyers Pettitte, Rivera, Villone He’s willing to bet on his pitcher Especially if pitching at home Jeater – now he’s really something And A Rod – no equal is found They cover the left in the infield And Boy! How they cover that ground Who’s pitching tonight? Him? – Oh he’ll do alright His fastball is so out of sight Yankee Fan Pin stripes are high fashion to him Even fat guys look kind of slim With the pants ending just at shin In fashion they always win He’s been in the House that Ruth Built He’d sit there though heat made him wilt He’s loyal without any guilt He’s Yankee clean up to the hilt Team roster? He knows every man The batboy? He’ll name him – he can This isn’t some fair weather fan George Steinbrenner – yea – He’s da man Who’s pitching tonight? Him? – Oh he’ll do alright His slider is simply a fright Yankee Fan Sure there’s work to be done by this evening There are papers to read and to write And it’s early but still he is leaving The Yankees are playing tonight! Who’s pitching today? Doesn’t matter – no way Yanks are playing hooray! Yankee Fan!
