Lyrics

Well, Mr. Burns had done it,

The Power Plant had won it,

With Roger Clemens clucking all the while,

Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile,

While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the bar-room tile.

We're talkin' softball,

From Maine to San Diego,

Talkin' softball,

Mattingly and Canseco,

Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw,

Steve Sax and his run-in with the law,

We're talkin' Homer,

Ozzie and the Straw.

We're talkin' softball,

From Maine to San Diego,

Talkin' softball,

Mattingly and Canseco,

Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw,

Steve Sax and his run-in with the law,

We're talkin' Homer,

Ozzie and the Straw.
