1923
New York Yankees, World Champs!
Metamorphasis complete with Rodan-like lasers/ subject replete with
shots, no chasers/ Stengel defended as best he could/ but dinosaurs
are most dangerous when equipped with wood.
1927 and 28 New York Yankees, World Champs!
A renaissance in the Bronx and Harlem,/ an Urban Shocker backed
up by Murderer's Row/ won a record 110 and then swept the flo'/
with the Pirates. Now it's dynastic./ The Bambino, Iron Horse and
Tony Laz was spastic/ Waite Hoyt, Wiley More, Herb Pennock, Urban
Shocker shout out to the staff./ A Murderer's role call.../While
Amelia Earhardt flew the whole damn way/Pennock, Combs and Lazzetti
chizza-came up lame/But Babe-a-Rizza-Ruth/Number 3 for sure/Went
deep that number of times/In rizza-gizza game 4
1932 New York Yankees, World Champs!
The Yanks went pop, pop, pop pop/ Ruth called his shot, ha, ha ha/
Gherig said, "What?!"/ Root should've dropped him, ha,
ha ha/ Chin music!

1936 through 39
New York Yankees, World Champs!
Sittin' in the bleachers on a Sunday afternoon/ watchin' Joe McCarthy
stealing signs/ Carl Hubbell v. Red Ruffing in a pitchers' duel/
Everybody here is skipping school/ Who is this kid?/ Joe DiMaggio,
I'd give a buck or two to be like you/ big big shoes/ Giants lose/1937,
a doom decreed from heaven/ like the Hindenbergs the Giants would
fall/ to the likes of Joe D, Lou Gherig and Bill Dickey/ It's tricky!
to rock a rhyme that's right on time/ It's tricky! Shout out to
Lord Stanley and the New York Rangers, Captain Courageous, Gone
with the Wind the book/ Dynasty! the first of its kind/ Dynasty!
Gherig for the lastest time/ while in the Rhineland military industry
grinds/ Tanks are rollin'/ Yankees are strollin'/ Around the bases/
No pennant races/ Flying Aces droppin' bombs in hot places/ Derringer
and Walters led the Major Leagues/ We never should've faulted Ernie
Lombardi/ I'm not saying win leaders shouldn't lose/ but it simplifies
the issue to blame it on a snooze
1941 New York Yankees, World Champs!
Owen, you see, had erred greviously in the 9th inning of game 4
of the 1941 World Series/ Brooklyn was illin'/ The Yankees were
chillin'/ Dr. Jonas was prescribin' the Dodgers penicillin / Instead
of evenin' it up,/ now we're roughin' you up/ Through the wickets,
passed ball, said Red Ruffing you up/ And Joe Dimaggio would enlist
to go/ to Pearl Harbor to be a hero once mo'/ Joe Dimaggio, 56 in
a row/ Ja-Ja-Ja-Ja-Ja-Joltin' Joe!
1943 New York Yankees, World Champs!
'42 was unusual/ The Cards swept back led by Musial/ They lost game
1 in 1943/ and they hoped again, but it wasn't to be (It wasn't
to be y'all)
1947 New York Yankees, World Champs!
The bums took us to seven/ Revolt in Madagascar and the Truman Doctrine/
No no-hitter for Bevens/ He lost game 4 with 2 outs in the 9th and
not a hit from Brooklyn/ Pee Wee Reese; duck, duck, geese/ Welcome
Jackie Robinson to the taste of defeat/ Spud Chandler, Allie Reynolds,
Vic Raschi, Spec Shea spun beauties in the series to save the day
1949 through '53 New York Yankees, World Champs!
He was a clown, Stengel, up until that point/ a-makin' foolish decisions
and stinkin' up the joint/ but Casey he found love/ and Casey he
got some/ and Casey did it in the dugout/pulled the rug out on the
bums/ Come on, Casey, come on/ Raschi and Reynolds, Lopat and Ford/
Whitey's first World Series/ There were many more/ Roberts was too
tired/ There were low scores/ Konstanty tried in vain, but couldn't
close the door/ The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States of America limits the Presidency to two terms; unfortunately
for the New York Giants, the Yankees Dynasty knows no such limit/
1951, Joe Dimaggio where will have you gone/ We use the future perfect
when we remember you in song/ Say, "Hey!" Say, "Mayes!"
Say, "Willie Mayes!"/ Say, "Mick!" Say, "Quick!"
Look out for that drain!/ Eddie Lopat meet Joe Black/ The rookie
standin' in the way of back to back to back to back/ With the bases
full of Dodgers and a 4-2 lead/ a precarious spot, a-la the African
Queen/ 42 at the plate, easy pop-up, no, wait!/ No one calls it,
no one's got it!/ Billy Martin rushes in for a diving save/ Diver
down Billy Martin, Diver Down Diamond Dave/ H to the I to the G-H-C
(H) double E-S-E/ High Cheese in '53/ The reigning champions/ The
destiny manifest before expansion comes
1956 New York Yankees, World Champs!
I got three crowns up on my Mantle/ Like the Reds in Hungary, in
Brooklyn we trample/ Now, Roy Campanella was a real fine fella/
Mickey was better and Berra was sweller/ To perfection, a silent
moment please.../ Don Larsen shocked the world and brought the Dodgers
to their knees
1958 New York Yankees, World Champs!
Burdette you talkin' trash/ Spread it 'round like a rash/Got it
down 3 to 1/ but we got a secret stash/ Now Spawn ain't so brave/
Bullet Bob'll save us/ with Don Larsen at our side in '58 we'll
be famous
1961 and '62 New York Yankees, World Champs!
1961, Jets and Sharks in the Bay of Pigs/ Vietnam, Parent Trap,
Jack Kennedy/ Moon River wider than a mile/ Maris beat Mantle, '61
in style/ Feestyle!: Elson Howard showered with power/ Vivan las
Mariposas/ Whitey Ford: 25 and 4, 27 scoreless innings, shutout
in game 4/ Rain marrred/ Bill Terry was scarred/ by the ghost of
Maz'/ McCovey came hard/ but Richardson flashed/ now exactly half/
of World Series checks cashed/ in 40 years were theirs
1977 and '78 New York Yankees, World Champs!
1977 (Reggie, Reggie...) The straw that stirred the drink that did
in Billy Martin served with Catfish and Louisiana Lightning, Mr.
October, rocked over three straight first pitch fastballs in game
5 to make the fall classic his story/ I remember where I sat/ in
my Boston Red Sox hat/ and I recall the things I ate/ October 2nd,
'78/ Mike Torres was on the mound/ Dent up, two on, two out/ Who
was this guy, this Bucky bum?/ 40 measley career homeruns/ The monster
stands about 40 feet/ invitingly close, calm emerald green/ That
ball is gone/ Yaz watched it go/ and so did I/ This much I know
1996 New York Yankees, World Champs!
1996 a flood of young homegrown talent overcomes/ the longest drought
in franchise history is done/ A young man named Jeter, and another
Rivera/ rookie stars lead on to a brand new era/ of redemption for
souls long lost in Queens/ Fallen stars shine on, Wade and Darryl
redeemed/ with Doc's no-hitter, this would be the year/ despite
the Torre's tragedy, for which we shed a tear/ But on a slider in
the 6th with 2 out and 2 on/ and 2 games down, the new era dawned/
With the crack of the bat/ Jimmy Leyritz snapped the momentum for
the Braves/ and we never looked back/ Never look back
1998 through 2000 New York Yankees, World Champs!
One hundred and twenty five opponents vanquished, cast aside/ The
best team ever? You decide./'99! Oh my!/ In the year of Columbine/
Victory 25, victory 25/ Yet another sweep/ Clinton impeached/ History
repeats, repeat, repeats.../ Take a seat/ John Smoltz, Lou Holtz,
dead bolts/ midnite packin' up and movin' like the Baltimore Colts/
Rolls Royce pulls up and who pops out?/ It's Chili Davis, a cigar
hangin' out of his mouth; Lewinsky!/ In the year 2000, we built
a new church/ please welcome our President, President Simon Birch/
Thanks for voting for me/ And now, by Presidential Decree/ despite
Buster Olney/ this is last night of the Yankee Dynasty/ Should've
never celebrated at Shea/ where once the Beatles did play/ Now begin
to pray/ for Owen Meany/ to end this new dynastic force/ Dear Editor:
This letter regards Shea Stadium and the Yankee Curse/ "She
Loves You, Yeah...
