Terry Cashman - Talking Baseball (Willie, Mickey, and the Duke) lyrics

The Whiz Kids had won it Bobby Thomson 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! Kluszewski, Campanella Talkin' baseball! The Man and Bobby Feller The Scooter, the Barber, and the Newc They knew 'em 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 Gaedel The Thumper and Mel Parnell And Ike was the only one winning down in Washington We're talkin' baseball! Kluszewski, Campanella Talkin' baseball! The Man and Bobby Feller The Scooter, the Barber, and the Newc 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 hooky To go and see the Duke And me, I always loved Willie Mays 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 And Rusty again is a Met And the great Alexander is pitchin' again in Washington I'm talkin' baseball! Like Reggie, Quisenberry Talkin' baseball! Carew and Gaylord Perry Seaver, Garvey, 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. [x5]
