Gee, It's A Wonderful Game
Who discovered the land Of the brave and the free? I don't know, I don't know. 'Twas Christy Columbus Is what they tell me. May be so, I don't know. There's only one Christy That I know at all One Christy that I ever saw. He's the one who discovered The fade away ball, And he pitches for Muggsy McGraw Baseball, baseball Ain't it a wonderful game? Old Christy Colum' Found this country, by gum But the extras don't carry his name. If old man Columbus Had sat in the stand Had seen Matty pitching that "Fader" so grand He'd have said Boys, I'm glad I discovered this land. Gee! it's a wonderful game. Letras de cancionesWho lost out in the battle Of old Waterloo? I don't know, I don't know. They say 'twas Na-po-le-on May be it's true. May be so, I don't know. The pink sheets don't print Mr. Bonaparte's face No stories about him today, 'Cause he never could hold down That old second base Like his name sake, Big Nap Lay'-oo-way. Baseball, baseball Ain't it a dandy old game? The gen'ral of France Couldn't lead 'em like Chance, So no wonder his Waterloo came. If down in his pocket Napoleon had dug, Had paid his five francs To see Tyrus Cobb slug, He'd have said, I give up: I'm a bug, I'm a bug! Gee! it's a wonderful game From Letras Mania
