Lyrics

[Intro] Hello Joe, whatta you know? We need a hit so here I go Ball one (Yea!) Ball two (Yea!) Strike one (Booo!) Strike two (Kill that umpire!) A case of Wheaties [Verse 1: Betty Ronney] He started baseball's famous streak That's got us all aglow He's just a man and not a freak Joltin' Joe DiMaggio [Hook: Les Brown Orchestra] Joe, Joe DiMaggio We want you on our side [Verse 2: Betty Ronney] He tied the mark at forty-four July the 1st you know Since then he's hit a good twelve more Joltin' Joe DiMaggio [Hook: Les Brown Orchestra] [Verse 3: Betty Ronney] From coast to coast that's all you'll hear Of Joe the one man show He's glorified the horsehide sphere Joltin' Joe DiMaggio [Hook: Les Brown Orchestra] [Verse 4: Betty Ronney] He'll live in baseball's Hall of Fame He got there blow by blow Our kids will tell their kids his name Joltin' Joe DiMaggio [Verse 5: Betty Ronney & Les Brown Orchestra] We dream of Joey with the light brown bat Joe, Joe DiMaggio We want you on our side [Verse 6: Betty Ronney] And now they speak in whispers low Of how they stopped our Joe One night in Cleveland Oh Oh Oh Goodbye streak DiMaggio Joltin' Joe DiMaggio
