C.w. Mccall - Pine Tar Wars Lyrics
Well, the wall street journal and the new york timesCarried the story in big headlinesHow kansas city george was robbed that dayWhen tar baby billy took his bat awayIt was two men out in the top a the ninthIt was one a them classic settinsThe goose on the mound in that big apple townAnd george is up there battinAs the crowd chants goose!He turns it looseWith fire and smoke and ashGeorge sends it deepIn the right field seatsAnother timely crashAs he rounded third and he headed on homeWas a gleam in billys eyeDick wondered whats he up to now?I know this guys real sly.Billy grabbed the bat as both teams satIn awe upon the benchesSays, there ya are! that theres pine tar!An its a whole lot moren eighteen inches![chorus]Tar baby billy can you hear our song?Did you cry about the game last night?Cry baby billy tell us all whats wrong?All you wanna do is fightYou like a child, kickin dirt on the umpires shoesThats the way youve always beenSo now were gonna take that pine tar ragAnd rub it in your face againSo tim thought it through, and he asked the crewThen with bat in hand, he shoutedYoure out! the home run just dont count!Im gonna have ta disallow it!Well, the sky was clear and the day was hotBut george was even hottertill lee got wise, and said hey, you guys!This claim aint a-gonna hold water.[chorus]Tar baby billy can you hear our song?Did you cry about the game last night?Cry baby billy tell us all whats wrong?All you wanna do is fightYou like a child, kickin dirt on the umpires shoesThats the way youve always beenSo now were gonna take that pine tar ragAnd rub it in your face againWell, the fans was riled and suits was filedTo create a long dee-layThen billys team, apparently,Was just afraid to playNow the stage was set and billy betThat he had the upper handBut billy was fooled when the big court ruledYou gonna play this game, as planned![chorus]Well, tar baby billy can you hear our song?Did you cry about the game last night?Cry baby billy tell us all whats wrong?All you wanna do is fightYou like a child, kickin dirt on the umpires shoesThats the way youve always beenSo now were gonna take that pine tar ragAnd rub it in your face againWith affidavits (notarized)That george had touched em allThe umpire said, we a step ahead.Gonna put an end to billy ball.We done heard the call for billy ballWe aint never gonna hear it againJust like the cheer for billys beerWhen the democrats was in.Now the game they played that summer dayWont be famous for the scoresBut the incidents that have happened sinceWill be remembered as tar wars[chorus]Tar baby billy can you hear our song?Did you cry about the game last night?Cry baby billy tell us all whats wrong?All you wanna do is fightYou like a child, kickin dirt on the umpires shoesThats the way youve always beenSo now were gonna take that pine tar ragAnd rub it in your face again
