| O House That Ruth Built How can we live up to your glory The world needs a Shakespeare To do justice to your story You are the inspiration For the heart of our nation The Yankees of today are living legends that tread the earth Nothing can live up to their inestimable worth A-Rod, Jeter, Joba Chamberlain Against such a brilliant line-up No team could ever hope to win Mariano Rivera, the pitcher of the Golden Arm Who protects the Yanks from late-inning harm Johnny Damon fled the thankless Red Sox for New York’s embrace To become our iron slugger and home run hitting ace A-Rod holding up the team with homer after homer And standing guard like a sentinel in the third base hot corner But what of the immortal pantheon of Yankee gods from ages past Do their spirits still not endure to inspire the modern age? Just as their images live in enduring bronze statues cast Do they help us to relive past glory with every turn of history’s page The Immortal Ruth, whose name is engraved on every brick and stone On the coliseum of glory that every fan calls home Joe DiMaggio the home run slugger and RBI machine Whose glory on and off the field made him America’s king Whose exploits as a hero never ceased to grow And won him the eternal love of Marilyn Monroe Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris The home run slugging twins Countless glories for New York they helped The Yankees win Elston Howard and Satchel Paige and Reggie Jackson too Proved that the only color that counts is the Yankee blue Don Larsen, Whitey Ford and every pitcher who ever graced our bull pen Were the spearhead of the shining lance that for years enabled us to win And lest we not pay homage to The Yankees’ brilliant leadership Which would be like not recognizing the captain of the ship Casey Stengel, Billy Martin, Joe Torre we owe you all our thanks For guiding and inspiring our priceless heroes, THE YANKS Now a new generation takes its place In the on-deck circle of up-and-coming aces The Three Young Kings Melky Robinson and Phil Have many years before them to show us all new thrills Not since ancient times has the world seen gargantuan heroes such as these To bring us future glory to The New York Yankees |
