Way up in Massachusetts, around Fenway Park
Our centerfielder made great plays from morning to dark
He name was Johnny Damon, big number eighteen
And a much needed player on that championship team
But yesterday we got the news, and it ain't swell
He was going to the Yankees and it feels like hell

(chorus)
Oh no
No Johnny no no
No Johnny no no no
No Johnny no no
No Johnny no no no
Damon is gone

He used to carry his long hair in a Red Sox cap
And made leaping catches by the Green Monster track
Oh, the fans are mad that the man sold out
They're ripping up their jerseys as they scream and shout
"Why did that idiot sell out for so much cash
When we see him here in April, we're gonna kick his ass"

(chorus)

Steinbrenner told him "Johnny, you will make more dough
If you come to play for me in the Bronx borough"
Now he's shaving his beard and he's cutting his hair
And many Boston fans aren't saying this isn't fair
Next year, on the scoreboard, it will say in lights
"For the Yankees, it's Damon tonight"

(chorus)
