The Baseball Project - The Day That Doc Went Hunting Heads lyrics

Now we all know the story Of what Dock Ellis did How he threw a no-hitter When he took a little trip That was amazing and true Though it was somewhat accidental But let’s not forget the game When Dock really went mental The Pirates season was humbling They came out of the gate stumbling Dock had had enough In the clubhouse he was grumbling: “Cincinnati is treating us Just like a dog kicked to the curb Well this dog’s got some bite left And it’s going to hurt” Down went Rose, down went Morgan, down went Driessen He took one right in the organ Dance, dance, dance, dance, Tony Perez! Then two at Johnny Bench, that was enough for the Reds Yeah, it really happened that way That’s what really happened the day Oh, the day Dock went hunting heads Now the ump didn’t toss him Though he had really crossed a line He wasn’t fined or suspended That was such a different time Danny Murtaugh had to pull him then But Dock’s message rang loud and clear A few pundits have opined That was the turning point in the Buccos’ year Down went Rose, down went Morgan, down went Driessen He took one right in the organ Dance, dance, dance, dance, Tony Perez! Then two at Johnny Bench, that was enough for the Reds Yeah, it really happened that way That’s what really happened the day Oh, the day Dock went hunting heads Oh, the day Dock went hunting heads Now you know I’m not saying You young hurlers should try it And if you claim you’re just wild The men in blue will never buy it And if you think taking LSD Might help you throw a no-hit game You might consult a good drug counselor In fact, that’s what Dock became Down went Rose, down went Morgan, down went Driessen He took one right in the organ Dance, dance, dance, dance, Tony Perez! Then two at Johnny Bench, that was enough for the Reds Yeah, it really happened that way That’s what really happened the day Oh, the day Dock went hunting heads Oh, the day Dock went hunting heads Oh, the day Dock went hunting heads
