jerry colonna - casey (the pride of them all) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh, what a lark to ride out to the park [wolf whistle]
and just to see casey

they travel for miles and they stand in the aisles [wolf whistle]
and just to see casey

the ladies don’t understand baseball a bit
they don’t know a strike from a foul or a hit

but when they see casey, that game has got it
[chorus]
casey, the pride of them all

hey, folks. here we are at the ball park
it looks pretty bad for the mudville boys;
it’s the last half of the ninth
two outs, two men on base
there’s only one man who can save the day for mudville
he’s coming up to us right now
it’s the mighty casey!

[verse 2]
oh, casey’s the guy with his eye on the ball [wolf whistle]
but mostly the ladies
casey’s the guy who’s the idol of all [wolf whistle]
but mostly the ladies

casey is mighty and manly
casey’s a dangerous gent

egad, when he goes to bat, hang on to your hat
he’s batting a thousand percent with the ladies

oh, casey has nerve and he knows every curve
he’s no hokey+pokey

he gets away with that old double play
he’s sure okey+dokey

he makes all the ladies go gaga, it’s true
no wonder they swoon when he comes into view

he was the sinatra of 1902
[chorus]

now that casey is at bat
he’s got that home run look in his eye
in fact he’s got a set of bull h+rns
the pitcher is winding up and here comes the pitch
strike… 1!

with a smile of christian charity great casey’s visage shone
he stilled the rising tumult and bade the game go on
the pitcher is winding up and here comes the pitch

strike… 2!

the sneer has gone from casey’s lip
his t++th are clenched in hate
he pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate
and now the pitcher holds the ball
and now he lets it go
and now the aire is shattered by the force of casey’s blow!

[final verse]
somewhere in this favored land
the sun is shining bright

somewhere bands are playing sweet
and somewhere hearts are light

somewhere men are laughing, oh, ho, ho, ho, ho
somewhere children shout

but there is no joy in mudville
mighty casey… (da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
mighty casey… (da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
mighty casey… has struck out!
