I remember my Daddy talkin' 'bout the days gone by
When he started talkin' baseball I could see a look in his eye
I could reach out and I almost could touch
His cherished memories I had longed for so much
But he told me it could never happen again

Daddy raved about the Yankee Clipper, the things that he'd done
Ebbets Field and the Polo Grounds, Jackie Robinson
Bobby Thomson's shot heard 'round the world
And the perfect game Don Larsen hurled
But he told me it could never happen again

Chorus:

I'm gettin' on a subway tonight
I'm headin' to the stadium, that 's right
The city's gonna rock tonight as we make history
Can't you smell the hot dogs, taste the beer,
Take me back in time to yesteryear
I wouldn't trade this ticket for the world oh not today
I'm gettin' on the subway

Daddy tell me 'bout the "Boys of Summer", the rivalries
And the ballyard in the Southern Bronx, October dynasties
But then the saddest days remembered by most
When the other teams left for the coast
And they thought that it could never happen again

Repeat Chorus

Daddy, Daddy what you doin' tonight
I got an extra ticket, just say alright
Cause we both know that this may never happen, never happen again

Repeat Chorus
