Songtext von Never Bet Against The Yankees

One day I saw a poor man weeping He put a pistol to his head And as he squeezed the trigger These are the final words he said: Oh it's never bet against the Yankees Don't put your money on the line 'Cause if you bet against the Yankees They'll take you most every single time Yes, there's Mickey Mantle in the outfield With Maris there they are the best of all They swing as hard as Sonny Liston But the trouble is they rarely hit the ball So it's never bet against the Yankees, etc. One day they met the Pittsburgh Pirates Those games were seen in every land Those Yankees broke every single record While the Pirates broke every Yankee fan So it's never bet against the Yankees, etc. And then they met the LA Dodgers Those four games ended mighty soon Now it's Koufax and Podres and Drysdale They sit home now a-singin' on this tune
