The fans of the Brooklyn Dodgers
Once rivaled those of Roy Rogers
But when Trump came on
Those standards were gone
Trigger got stuffed with old codgers
The Stats show a Brooklyn Dodger
Scored RBIs with his todger
Then one day at bat
A Foul Ball went splat
And now he's Soprano Codger
RBI=Runs Batted In

With Jackie at second
Both are legends

I am Val Brooklyn Rogers
Black panther!
I remember in my college days
I was reading a poster
My English professor
came by and said
"Do you want to spend your life looking at posters? "
I was looking for a dance....
I spied them up ahead
So I made a bee line
Along with the other bees

This man in Brooklyn named Isadore,
some big sandwiches he would adore.
Corned beef and pastrami,
and kosher salami.
He can’t fit in his clothes anymore.

The Brooklyn boys went to LA.
In Ebbett’s Field, they did not stay.
They play in the sun.
Los Angeles loves Dodger blue.
The team is a contender true.
They are number one.
a skeleton in disguise they call me crocodile
but truly I am an alligator swimming with the sharks
the caiman I left in Barranquilla and wearing my croc

Life goes on
for the man in Brooklyn
selling stolen goods.
Life goes on
for the man who stands tall
it is he who has lived the greatest life of all.
