Where Would We Be Without Yankees
Artist:=A0Hank Williams Jr.


WELL I'VE SANG A LOT
OF SONGS
ABOUT THE SOUTH
AND ALL THE GOOD LIFE
WE'VE KNOWN
BUT I THINK IT'S TIME
TO SET THE RECORD
STRAIGHT
BEFORE I MOVE ALONG
WELL THE TRUTH IS
ALL OUR GREAT
INVENTIONS
COME FROM WAY UP
NORTH
AND I HATE TO ADMIT IT
DON'T SAY I SAID IT
BUT THE WORLD IS
REALLY RUN FROM
NEW YORK
WHERE WOULD WE BE
WITHOUT YANKEES
NO ALFALFA NO SPANKY
THERE'D BEEN NO
HONEYMOONERS
AND NO THREE STOOGES
THEY'RE THE ONE'S
THAT OWN THE RECORD
COMPANIES
THEY GOT A LOCK ON
LEANN AND ME
WHERE WOULD WE BE
WITHOUT YANKEES
WELL WE WOULDN'T BE
THE U. S. A.

4 BAR
BREAK

WELL THERE'D OF
NEVER BEEN A
GREEN BAY
OR CHICAGO
OR FOOTBALL TO PLAY
WE'D HAVE NEVER HAD
AN NFL
WHY WE'D BE LOST
WITHOUT NEW YORK
FOLKS
THEY MAKE ALL
THE CLOTHES
AND HATS AND COATS
WHERE WOULD WE BE
WHY WE'D BE
JUST AS NAKED AS HELL
WHERE WOULD WE BE
WITHOUT YANKEES
NO ALFALFA NO SPANKY
THERE'D BEEN
NO HONEYMOONERS
CAN YOU IMAGINE
NO THREE STOOGES
WE'D OF NEVER
HAD A COLT FORTY-FIVE
OR A GUITAR
OR A CAR TO DRIVE
WHERE WOULD WE BE
WITHOUT YANKEES
WELL I'LL TELL YA
QUITE FRANKLY
WE SURE WOULDN'T BE
THE U. S. A.

8 BAR

I TELL YA RIGHT NOW
THEY AIN'T SO BAD
THEY CAN'T HELP IT
THEY JUST LIKE
TO GET MAD
WELL I COUNT
SOME OF THEM
AMONG
MY BEST FRIENDS
NOW WE'VE ALL GOT
TO LEARN
HOW TO GET ALONG
QUIT MAKIN' FUN
OF THE WAY THEY TALK
OR THEY MIGHT GET HOT
AND COME
BACK DOWN HERE AGAIN
WHERE WOULD WE BE
WITHOUT YANKEES
NO ALFALFA NO SPANKY
THERE'D BEEN
NO HONEYMOONERS
AND NO THREE STOOGES
WELL WE'D OF
NEVER HAD
A CADILLAC CAR
OR A PICKUP
OR A LONG NECK JAR
WHERE WOULD WE BE
WITHOUT YANKEES
WELL NOW I'LL TELL YA
QUITE FRANKLY
WE WOULDN'T BE
THE U. S. A.

Where Would We Be Without Yankees<
On a similar note, we can ALL rejoice seeing that apparently the
"Yankees" won't even make the A.L. Playoffs !

Especially since one of Steinbrenner's kids appears to be an even
bigger idgit than his father. : )

Esker, it's hard to believe that of ALL the Yankee greats that played
in the "House that Ruth built" that Derek Jeter has the most hits.

I think it's just that we're old, : ) and time goes a lot faster as we
age. I don't really follow baseball very closely anymore, but Jeter is
a GREAT player. I'm surprised yes, but thinking about it I'm guessing
DiMaggio played about 15 years, and Jeter with his work ethic, never
missing many games, top of the order, a lot of at bats, etc ...
probably has somewhere around 12 - 13 years, ? so it's probably true.

And besides, being the matinee idol, at least until Rodriguez and
Madonna : ) under all that scrutiny , and with that never ending zoo
that New York is and Steinbrenner created, the steroid era, and
somehow miraculously being able to put it all behind him, and just
continue to play such a GREAT brand of baseball for all those years,
he deserves any records and accolades he gets.

My son bought me a "Yankees Suck" T- Shirt when he was in Baltimore
for a Orioles-Yankees game awhile back.
I thought about wearin' it to the Doctor's office when I had to go,
their's so
many of them in those places around here, they come down here to
retire and
die. Of course, I wouldn't do such a thing, my best friend in the
Army was a
damn yankee. Blue
