Lyrics
A sight for sore eyes it's a long time no see Workin hard hardly workin, hey man you know me Water under the bridge, did ya see my new car Well it's bought and it's payed for, parked outside of the bar
*And hey barkeep what's keepin you keep pourin drinks For all these palookas hey you know what I thinks And we toast, to the old days and dimaggio too And (old) drysdale and maddoo, whitey ford and to you
Oh you know the old gang ain't around, everyone has left town 'Cept for thelma an' giardina, said they just might be down All half drunk all the time, and I'm all drunk the rest Monk's still the champion, oh but I am the best
*
Guess you heard about nash, he was killed in a crash Oh that must of been two or three years ago now Yeh he spun out and he rolled, hit a telephone pole And died with the radio on Flo she's married with a kid, finally split up with sid He's up north for a nickle's worth, for armed robbery And I'll play you some pin-ball, no you ain't got a chance Then go on over and ask her to dance
*
