A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES
A sight for sore eyes, It's a long time no see
Workin' hard hardly workin', Hey man you know me
Water under the bridge, Did ya see my new car
Well it's bought and it's paid for, Parked out-side of the bar
And hey barkeep whats keeping you, Keep pouring drinks
For all these palookas, Hey you know what I thinks
That we toast to the old days, And Di-Mag-gio too
An' old Drysdales and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you
Oh you know the ol' gang ain't around, Everyone has left town
'Cept for Thelma 'n' Giardina, Said they just might be down
Oh half drunk all the time, An' I'm all drunk the rest
Monks still the champion, Oh but I am the best
And hey barkeep whats keeping you, Keep pouring drinks
For all these palookas, Hey you know what I thinks
That we toast to the old days, And Di-Mag-gio too
An' old Drysdales and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you
Guess you heard about Nash, He was killed in a crash
Oh that must have been two, Or three years ago now
Yeah, he spun out and he rolled, Hit a telephone pole
And died with the radio on
Flo she's married with a kid, Finally split up with Sid
He's up north for a nickles worth, For armed robbery
And I'll play you some pinball, No you ain't got a chance
Then go on over and, Ask her to dance
And hey barkeep whats keeping you, Keep pouring drinks
For all these palookas, Hey you know what I thinks
That we toast to the old days, And Di-Mag-gio too
An' old Drysdales and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you-oo-o
