We´ve heard about those old time dangerous pirates
of Captain Kidd and Silver John the Long
but we prefer those modern dangerous Pirates
as our victims walk the plank we sing this song
Oh, goodbye, Mr Ball, goodbye
You are going to see an awful lot of sky
don´t hang around for Richard to open up that door
when Hankus Pankus hits you where you´ve never been hit before
Oh goodbye, Mr Ball, goodbye
You had better kiss your relatives good bye
when Hank comes to the plate, Ball,
you´re gonna to be out late so
Goodbye, Mr Ball, goodbye
Goodbye, Mr Ball, goodbye
Say hello there to the sun up in the sky
a plate is mighty handy to eat the lean and fat
but not when Hank the Greenberg serves it up with his big bat
Oh, goodbye, Mr Ball, goodbye
Go fly ‘til the blue has met the dawn up in the sky
when Hank gets home run itch, Ball,
you´re going to drop a stitch
so goodBye Mr ball, goodBye
Oh nothing could be finer
than a partner like Ralph Kiner
in the outfield
and I am confirmin´ that I´ll work for Billy Herman
in the infield
Oh goodbye, Mr Ball, goodbye
you had better kiss your relatives goodbye
Wait a minute, when the count is 2-0 and I let that third one go,
what happens then?
You´re out
Oh Goodbye Mr Hank goobye
And futhermore,
when I think I´ve got a hit and it winds up in Slaughter´s mitt
How about that?
Too bad
Oh goodbye Mr. Hank Goodbye
Oh, Mr .Greenberg
Goodbye Mr. Hank Goodbye
