Dodger Blue (Los Angeles)

From the land of the Rising Sun (Nomo!)
to the man who looked to heaven
to deliver migrant Mexicans (Fernando)
The dream deferred never deterred one Mr. Robinson

From Branch’s bunch of bums
(My bums!)
Came a challenge to the masses
to accept all race and classes
(My bums, my bums!)
Bunch of bums to champions;
it’s how the west was won
(Cut me, watch me…)

[Chorus]:
Bleed Dodger blue
Watch me bleed Dodger blue

Los Anglo Sax on second (Sandy!)
Koufax won’t pitch
and he eats his bread unleavened
(on Yom Kippur
)
If you were a Jew, we wouldn’t blacklist you
like Ronnie Reagan
(He’s dead!)

The legacy of 42 (Jackie!)
Until the King was beaten down
by the other boys in blue
(Rodney!)
Chavez Ravine horror scene,
I had a dreamChavez!
(Cut me, watch me…)

[Chorus]

[Our Bums, The Dodger Kids]:
"I think it is important for people in America to see someone of their race play Major League Baseball." "They know how to play the game. The love the game. They have faith in the game. It is their dream. Many black believe in baseball." "Baseball represent the American Dream. Anybody can play baseball." "When black players played in the same league, it brought attraction for the black people, and they came to watch white and black play together." "And all famous players should be heroes because everybody loves them." "I think it is important to have their race play Major Liga." "Because it gives them a good feeling in their heart that someone like them can baseball for their country."
