Casey (The Pride of Them All) (single) Lyrics by Jerry Colonna

1946

[verse 1]
Oh, what a lark to ride out to the park [wolf whistle]
And just to see Casey
They travel for miles and they stand in the aisles [wolf whistle]
And just to see Casey
The ladies don't understand baseball a bit
They don't know a strike from a foul or a hit
But when they see Casey, that game has got it
Casey, the pride of them all
Hey, folks. here we are at the ball park
It looks pretty bad for the Mudville boys;
It's the last half of the ninth
Two outs, two men on base
There's only one man who can save the day for Mudville
He's coming up to us right now
It's the mighty Casey!
[verse 2]
Oh, Casey's the guy with his eye on the ball [wolf whistle]
But mostly the ladies
Casey's the guy who's the idol of all [wolf whistle]
But mostly the ladies
Casey is mighty and manly
Casey's a dangerous gent
Egad, when he goes to bat, Hang on to your hat
He's batting a thousand percent with the ladies
Oh, Casey has nerve and he knows every curve
He's no hokey-pokey
He gets away with that old double play
He's sure okey-dokey
He makes all the ladies go gaga, It's true
No wonder they swoon when he comes into view
He was the Sinatra of 1902
Casey, the pride of them all
Now that Casey is at bat
He's got that home run look in his eye
In fact he's got a set of bull horns
The pitcher is winding up and here comes the pitch
Strike... 1!
With a smile of Christian charity great Casey's visage shone
He stilled the rising tumult and bade the game go on
The pitcher is winding up and here comes the pitch
Strike... 2!
The sneer has gone from Casey's lip
His teeth are clenched in hate
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate
And now the pitcher holds the ball
And now he lets it go
And now the aire is shattered by the force of Casey's blow!
[final verse]
Somewhere in this favored land
The sun is shining bright
Somewhere bands are playing sweet
And somewhere hearts are light
Somewhere men are laughing, oh, ho, ho, ho, ho
Somewhere children shout
But there is no joy in Mudville
Mighty Casey... (da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Mighty Casey... (da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Mighty Casey... has struck out!
