Testo Pine tar wars C.W. McCall

Pine tar wars

Well, the wall street journal and the new york times
Carried the story in big headlines
How kansas city george was robbed that day
When tar baby billy took his bat away

It was two men out in the top a the ninth
It was one a them classic settins
The goose on the mound in that big apple town
And george is up there battin

As the crowd chants goose!
He turns it loose
With fire and smoke and ash
George sends it deep
In the right field seats
Another timely crash

As he rounded third and he headed on home
Was a gleam in billys eye
Dick wondered whats he up to now?
I know this guys real sly.

Billy grabbed the bat as both teams sat
In awe upon the benches
Says, 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 fight
You like a child, kickin dirt on the umpires shoes
Thats the way youve always been
So now were gonna take that pine tar rag
And rub it in your face again

So tim thought it through, and he asked the crew
Then with bat in hand, he shouted
Youre out! the home run just dont count!
Im gonna have ta disallow it!

Well, the sky was clear and the day was hot
But george was even hotter
till 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 fight
You like a child, kickin dirt on the umpires shoes
Thats the way youve always been
So now were gonna take that pine tar rag
And rub it in your face again

Well, the fans was riled and suits was filed
To create a long dee-lay
Then billys team, apparently,
Was just afraid to play

Now the stage was set and billy bet
That he had the upper hand
But billy was fooled when the big court ruled
You 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 fight
You like a child, kickin dirt on the umpires shoes
Thats the way youve always been
So now were gonna take that pine tar rag
And rub it in your face again

With affidavits (notarized)
That george had touched em all
The umpire said, we a step ahead.
Gonna put an end to billy ball.

We done heard the call for billy ball
We aint never gonna hear it again
Just like the cheer for billys beer
When the democrats was in.

Now the game they played that summer day
Wont be famous for the scores
But the incidents that have happened since
Will 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 fight
You like a child, kickin dirt on the umpires shoes
Thats the way youve always been
So now were gonna take that pine tar rag
And rub it in your face again
