No idea if this is legal, but it’s the Internet, it’s sunny in New York and it’s a busy day for me, so here’s this.
This song comes courtesy of reader Tom. I linked it a long while back on Flushing Fussing, but that link broke.
It’s by a calypso singer named the Duke of Iron. It’s about Casey Stengel’s Mets, but some of the lyrics still apply:
When you want to hear how people scream,
Go see New York’s latest baseball team.
Such loyalty, such charity.
Although they’re last, not one of them have no regrets,
They believe in the New York Mets.
They’re cheering,
We want a hit! We want a hit!
From the crack of the bat, there’s noise in the place,
Especially if a Met can get on first base.
Love it.
also, do you notice he says they’re “quite amazin'”? That’s a charming foreshadowing.
Good call, I didn’t think about that.
