Hey sight for sore eyes, it's a long time no see
Working hard hardly working, hey man you know me
Water under the bridge, did ya see my new car
Well it's bought and it's paid for, parked outside of the bar
And hey barkeeper what's keeping you keep pouring drinks?
For all these palookas hey you know what I thinks
That we toast to the old days and Dimagio too
And old Drysdale and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you
Oh you know the old gang ain't around everyone has left town
'cept for Thumm and Giardina said they just might be down
Oh half drunk all the time and I'm all drunk the rest
Monk's still the champion, oh but I am the best
And hey barkeeper what's keeping you keep pouring drinks?
For all these palookas hey you know what I thinks
That we toast to the old days and Dimagio too
And Drysdale and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you
Guess you heard about Nash, he was killed in a crash
Oh that must of been two or three years ago now
They spun out and he rolled, he hit a telephone pole
He died with the radio on
Course she's married and with a kid, finally split up with Sid
He's up north for a nickle's worth for armed robbery
And I'll play you some pin ball hell you ain't got a chance
well then go on over and ask her to dance
And hey barkeeper what's keeping you keep pouring drinks?
For all these palookas hey you know what I thinks
That we toast to the old days and Dimagio too
And Drysdale and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you
