Talkin' Yankees Baseball

In 1981 Terry Cashman recorded what is more commonly referred to as Talkin' Baseball, which was originally called Willie, Mickey And The Duke. It became — and still is — a very popular pop song that pays tribute to players from the fifties and a variety of variations were released during the following seasons. What follows below is a follow-up to that classic tune which specifically pays tribute to the New York Yankees.

"The Stadium was built by Ruth, The Iron Horse was in his youth. The Yankees lineup was a Murderers Row. And after Huggins' reign. They were champions again. And winning became the only game for Marse-a Joe!" - Terry Cashman in Talkin' Yankees Baseball

"The Stadium was built by Ruth,
The Iron Horse was in his youth.
The Yankees lineup was a Murderers Row.
And after Huggins' reign.
They were champions again.
And winning became the only game for Marse-a Joe!

I'm Talkin' baseball!
Bill Dickey, and Lazzeri.
Yankees baseball!
Henrich, Andy Carey.
Reynolds, Raschi, Goofy's bag of tricks.
They knew 'em in the Apple and the sticks.
Like The Bambino! The Clipper, and the Mick.

Well, Casey took over. The Yankees owned October.
Whitey was The Chairman of the Board.
Then the Boss came into bat.
With Reggie and the Cat.
They ended the skid, with Billy the Kid.
And the Bronx, they roared!

I'm Talkin' baseball!
Yogi, Moose, and Jerry.
Yankees baseball!
Pepitone and Terry.
Ellie, Kubek, Munson never quit.
The porch in right was Roger's bailiwick.
Like The Bambino! The Clipper, and the Mick.

And how about Mel Allen?
And Larsen's perfect game.
Gehrig's speech, Joe Page the major,
Mattingly, and Ron the Gator
Holy Cow, The Scooter's got the ball!
And now, he's in the Hall.

In pinstripe tradition,
The Yankees have a mission.
They're headed for the Classic in the Fall.
A new century's beginning,
But the Yankees keep on winning.
When Torre calls 'Mo, it's over you know,
So, let's play ball!

I'm Talkin' baseball!
Bernie, Mike, and Jeter.
Yankees baseball!
The Rocket throws the heater!
Sheffield and Giambi have the sticks,
Andy and El Duque do the trick.
Like The Bambino! The Clipper, and the Mick.

The Bambino! The Clipper, and The Mick.

Yankees' baseball,
The Clipper, and The Mick.

The Subway Series,
It's baseball in New York.

Yankees baseball…
