The Lyrics
last game took fourteen, and then they took a trip
up to yankee stadium to play a double dip
they were a lttle achin'...they were worn out boston beans
but soon began the biggest comeback, that you've ever seen
they thought they'd won, but the red sox kept a-comin'
they're not as sure and cocky, as they were a while ago
the red sox scored...the base paths, they were runnin'
lookin' like a hippie, damon is a dynamo
the red sox delivered...and the yankee's year was done
there must have been a hunger in 'em, and those yanks were stunned
the balls fly high, when the yankee pitchers fling
you should have seen the yankee fans...at last, they feel the sting
its so much fun, just to see the yankees bummin'
i found it really funny, just to see the boys so low
ol' george is sore, cause he spent lots of money
pedro is your daddy...now, you need to tell him so
the manager said, won't ol' torre be surprised
he thought that he was lucky to be playin' boston guys
maybe he'll be fired, cause they didn't do so well
cause boston came to town and they sure gave the yankees hell
the fans were stunned, when the red sox showed their cunning
they paid a pretty penny for their seats to see the show
they hit the doors and they began a-runnin'
scared of m. ramirez and the mighty david o.
well, they played with a fire, while the yanks merely ambled
and they kicked yankee tushie, breaking habits, we all know
the yanks got passed and they simply couldn't catch 'em
although the weather's nippy, all of boston wears a glow
a bash, we're plannin', cause the yankees melted down
we'll meet 'em at the airport when our boys are back in town
the mighty yankees took a fall, and they've been left behind
i hope that derek jeter and rodriguez lose their minds
when day was done, the champagne kept a-comin'
the players were so giddy, that they all began to crow
the odds were poor, but, lord, this team is somethin'
winnin' four straight ballgames, when the yanks were three and oh
well, they yanks have expired, but they know its a gamble
you shouldn't count your chickens, though, you won three in a row
they went down fast, and they just couldn't match 'em
and cause they couldn't whip 'em, to the series, they will go
up to yankee stadium to play a double dip
they were a lttle achin'...they were worn out boston beans
but soon began the biggest comeback, that you've ever seen
they thought they'd won, but the red sox kept a-comin'
they're not as sure and cocky, as they were a while ago
the red sox scored...the base paths, they were runnin'
lookin' like a hippie, damon is a dynamo
the red sox delivered...and the yankee's year was done
there must have been a hunger in 'em, and those yanks were stunned
the balls fly high, when the yankee pitchers fling
you should have seen the yankee fans...at last, they feel the sting
its so much fun, just to see the yankees bummin'
i found it really funny, just to see the boys so low

thanks dee and johnny....looks like some yankee fans have also visited...heh heh heh
Alvin, don't feel like the lone ranger. They went back to my WHERE WERE YOU, BABE? parody from yesterday and 1'ed me too. Like THAT will make up for the total collapse of the STINKEES...er YANKEES...heh heh heh
Loves these Yankee-bashing parodies. This is one of the best. Go Sox!
There have been a few of these that were good. This was not one of them.
Man, You are a Master!.....How long did it take you to write that?.....Fabulous wording..
michael Pacholek, you have lost your mind if you don't think this is a superb parody. Your disposition has soured, my friend, because this is absolutely magnificent, and I challenge you to a duel at high noon if you disagree :-) And if you admit to voting 1's or 2's on this, I will never read another parody that you write. No shit.
thanks all for taking a look....i realize that anything you write about religion, politics, and yes, even baseball will not please everyone...
