chuck brodsky - moe berg: the song lyrics

Loading...

moe berg the catcher – good field and no hit
somehow he lasted 19 years – ‘till his knees made him quit
he never really played much & he never really cared
he was happy just to hang around with a uniform to wear

moe berg the princeton graduate – went on to study law
got his degree from columbia – all the while playing ball
he caught the eye of the dodgers – who were trying to sign a jew
who might help ‘em sell some tickets – in the bronx & yonkers too

moe berg the professor of the bullpen joked with pitchers
reading them the newspapers he used to have delivered
he spoke to ‘em in russian, j-panese & french
he was the greatest scholar that ever rode the bench

moe berg & the babe, they went over to j-pan
with a team of touring all-stars giving clinics for the fans
this was back in the 30’s as the world prepared for war
moe took a lot of pictures – n0body knew what for

moe berg the secret agent – never even told his mom
of his mission to determine if the germans had the bomb
he learned to speak good physics – without hardly a lisp
he infiltrated lectures with the german scientists

moe berg the walking riddle – would put his fingers to his lips
if you recognized him on the street – he’d nod & whisper “shhhh”
he kept a lot of secrets – no one will ever know
he knew a lot of people – but n0body ever knew moe

moe berg the beloved – he had the gift of gab
the moocher, the celebrity – he never paid the tab
he could get in at the ballpark – with his lifetime player’s p-ss
he could eat up in the press box – someone always filled his gl-ss

moe berg son of an immigrant – brought his father shame
all that education – then to play a child’s game
moe made it to the majors – but his dad would never go see him
moe’s baseball card is on display at the cia museum

long after he’d retired – there was still moe berg the myth
he rode into the sunset hanging sadly onto it
appearing on a game show – as the mystery guest
some say disappearing – might be what moe did best
