blue millennium - cool papa bell lyrics

there is a street in new york city
where kids play stickball all day long
women sweep the porches, little girls break out in song
four old men down on the corner, always got something to say
i walk down to meet them see what’s the topic for today

they’re talking bout cool papa bell
yeah they’re talking like they know him well
how could a real man run so fast?

and the old men said he was the fastest man
in the negroe leagues
he could hit in the air
he’d be round the bases before the umpire called in fair
flippin’ off the light switch so he could turn in for the night
sheets be all around him before the room had lost its light

they’re talking bout cool papa bell
yeah they’re talking like they know him well
how could a real man run so fast?
they’re talking bout cool papa bell
yeah they’re talking like they know him well
how could a real man run so fast?

meanwhile, the kids were hittin the ball
up above the street lights
hittin the ball up above the street lights
while old men sat there talkin all night about cool papa bell
well you can talk about josh gibson
and you can talk about satchel paige
but among these four old timers, cool papa bell was all the rage
they said he had the crafty moves and he always could win games
he’d play three in the middle of the heat
and never pray for rain
they’re talking bout cool papa bell
yeah they’re talking like they know him well
how could a real man run so fast?they’re talking bout cool papa bell
yeah they’re talking like they know him well

the kids were hitting the ball up above the streetlight
hitting the ball up above the streetlight
up above he streetlight
while the old men sat there talking all night, talking all night

they were talking all night about
one of the men that history forgot
till the bottom of the ninth
