Introduction
Play ball! The Legion call is heard across the land:
Home run! The game is won,
Hey, listen to that band!

Legion Ball is pledged to teamwork,
Win or lose, salute the play;
In our pride we must be humble,
That’s the Legion…

A little story that I want to tell
About a certain band that you know well
An aggregation down in Michigan wit ha leader man by the name of Ben

Come on you fans of Rochester,
The summer time is here,

Just remember Mister Wrigley’s name
He’s got a team that’s sure got steam
The Chicago Cubs I mean
When you’ve seen Hack Wilson make a hit
And the other lads all do their bit
You’ll say it’s the cream,

Bill Johnson was a swatter on a Bush League nine,
Way down South in Caroline,
Pitchers looked alike to him he had the sign,
He could hit them all the time.
Hit them where they weren’t, hit them high or low,
Hit them fast, hit them…

Hit of Uncle Sam's Follies

V1
On the city highways down the country lanes
I have seen a million children playing at their games
As I watch those kiddies romping in the sun
I wish I could love them all like, I love the one that I call
