Next to the plate for the Yankees, Hank Bauer. On deck, Mickey Mantle
When we met in 1938, it was November
When I said that I would be his mate, it was December
I reasoned he would be the greatest husband
That a girl had ever found
That's what I reasoned, that's what I reasoned
Then April rolled around
Strike three, ball four
Walk or run'll tie the score
You're blind, Ump, you're blind, Ump
You must be out of your mind, Ump
Six months out of ev'ry year
I might as well be made of stone
Six months out of ev'ry year
When I'm with him, I'm alone
Six months out of ev'ry year
He doesn't take me anywhere
Six months out of ev'ry year
When I play cards, solitaire
The other six months out of ev'ry year
We are hardly ever seen apart
But then the Washington Senators
Take over my place in his heart
Six months out of ev'ry year
I might as well be wearing crepe
Life is just an awful bore
From which I find no escape
Six months out of ev'ry year
Strike three, ball four
Walk or run'll tie the score
Fly ball, double play
Yankees win again today
Those damn Yankees, why can't we beat 'em?
He's out, he's safe, he's out, he's safe
He's out, he's safe, he's out
You're blind, Ump, you're blind, Ump
You must be out of your mind, Ump
Six months out of ev'ry year
He lives by the television set
He's out, he's safe, he's out
If you see that man of mine
How does he look? I forget
Let's go!
Six months out of ev'ry year
We know there is no other dame
He's out, he's safe, he's out
If he isn't home by six
It's six to one, there's a game
Let's go!
Six months out of ev'ry year
When we cook for them, it never pays
Ha!
Instead of praising our goulash
They're appraising the plays of Willie Mays
He's out, he's safe, he's out, he's safe
He's out, he's safe, he's out
[SENATORS & (WIFE)
Strike three, ball four (Six months out of ev'ry year)
Walk or run'll tie the score
Fly ball, double play (I might as well be wearing crepe)
Yankees win again today
Those damn Yankees, why can't we beat '
Em? (Life is just an awful bore)
He's out, he's safe, he's out, he's safe (From which I find)
He's out, he's safe, he's out (No escape)
You're blind, Ump, you're blind, Ump
You must be out of your mind, Ump
[SENATORS' WIFE & (WOMEN)
We're dying for the mercury (Go!)
To stop the three below
We're crying for the happy days (Go!)
Of icicles and snow (Go!)
We don't mind sleeping solo (Let's go!)
That is once a year or so (Let's go!)
But with them is a career (Let's go!)
What are you waiting for?
April, May, June, July, August, September (Ten)
[SENATORS' WIFE & (WOMEN)
Ha! April, May, June, July, August, September (Five)
Ooh!
[SENATORS & (WOMEN)
Six months out of ev'ry year
You're blind, Ump, you're blind, Ump
You must be out of your mind, Ump, yeah!
