The Amazing Mets

Remember the Miracle Mets and their season,
Back in '69 when they gave us all reason,
To think an impossible dream could come true,
When they beat the Braves and the Orioles too,
With Koosman and Seaver both pitching for glory,
They wrote an improbable underdog story,
With home runs aplenty by Mister Clendenon,
New York and Gil Hodges knew nothing but winning,
Yeah the Mets were amazin' back then,

But with Johan and Pedro the chances are raising,
They'll bring back the days when the Mets were amazin',
When Mookie, Hernandez, and Carter were kings,
For beating the Red Sox and winning the rings,
If everyone's healthy and they get some pitching,
They'll conquer the Phillies and win the division,
With Reyes and Wright and brand new heroes,
They'll bring back the memories everyone knows,
Yeah the Mets are amazin' again,

Remember the comeback in games six and seven,
In the '86 series when Shea was like heaven,
Cause an easy ground ball that was guided by fate,
Led to Ray Knight's winning jump on the plate,
From Gooden and Darling to Franco and Johnson,
The Mets of the past will not be forgotten,
So play with the passion these heroes displayed,
And give all the fans a reason to say,
The Mets are amazin' again ...

Jerry, George, and Kramer Against Woody, Cliff, and Norm

The Yankees got the best of the Babe Ruth trade,
And it lasted for 86 years,
But the Red Sox finally have repaid,
New York for some of those tears,

But the famous curse caused lots of hurt,
Cause all I used to hear,
Was the fans lament Bucky freaking Dent,
As they guzzled their Sam Adams beer,

It's a rivalry that runs deeper than a simple sports debate,
It's only a distance of 200 miles that seperates the hate,
It's several generations that kept it true to form,
It pits Jerry, George, and Kramer against Woody, Cliff, and Norm,

The Celtics tradition and history,
Is a source of Bostonian pride,
While the Big Apple brings up Bill Buckner,
As a way to hurt Boston inside,

It can make a young man older,
And it can make an old man young,
Like it made a young Pedro lay out old Don Zimmer,
Thinking the old man had swung,

It's a rivalry that runs deeper than a simple sports debate,
It's only a distance of 200 miles that seperates the hate,
It's several generations that kept it true to form,
It pits Jerry, George, and Kramer against Woody, Cliff, and Norm,

The Patriots road to perfection,
Started by beating the Jets,
While the Manhattan papers referred to,
A camera New York won't forget,

As New England continued their winning,
Beantown became more defiant,
And in a poetic twist that fate couldn't resist,
They ended up playing the Giants,

It's a rivalry that runs deeper than a simple sports debate,
It's only a distance of 200 miles that seperates the hate,
It's several generations that kept it true to form,
It pits Jerry, George, and Kramer against Woody, Cliff, and Norm ...
