Gee! It's a Wonderful Game

V1 Who discovered the land of the brave and the free? I don’t know, I don’t know ‘Twas Christy Columbus is what they tell me May be so, I don’t know There’s only one Christy that I know at all One Christy that I ever saw He’s the one who discovered the fade away ball And he pitches for Muggsy McGraw V2 Who lost out in the battle of old Waterloo? I don’t know, I don’t know They say ‘tways Napoleon, may be tis true May be so, I don’t know The pink sheets don’t print Mister Bonaparte’s face No stories about him to day ‘Cause he never could hold down that old second base Like his name sake Big Nap Lay’ooway Chorus 1 Baseball, Baseball aint it a wonderful game? Old Christy Colum’ found this country, by gum But the extras don’t carry his name If old man Clumbus had sat in the stand Had seen Matty pitching that ‘fader’ so grand He’d have sayd “Boys I’m glad I discovered this land” Gee! It’s sa wonderful game Chorus 2 Baseball, Baseball aint it a dandy old game? The Gen’ral of France couldn’t lead ‘em like Chance So no wonder his Waterloo came If down in his pocket Napoleon had dug Had paid his five francs to see Tyrus Cobb slg He’d have said I give up I’m a bug I’m a bug Gee! It’s a wonderful game
