Madelaine Mooney for baseball was looney
She’d rush to the game ev’ry day,

If I’m somewhat hanky panky
O’er a game that’s strickly Yankee

I’m a modern Apollo, a big Irishman,

As I make a big swipe…

1) The game was even Steven,
Then the Umpire called an OUT,
The crowd yelled ‘Kill the Umpire’

With pop bottles and brick bats,
The crowd rocked him…
