Hello Joe, whatta you know?
(We need a hit, so here I go)
(Ball one, Yea!)
(Ball two, Yea!)
(Strike one, Booo!)
(Strike two, Kill that umpire!)
(Yea! A case of Wheaties)
He started baseball's famous streak
That's got us all aglow
He's just a man and not a freak
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio
(Joe, Joe DiMaggio)
(We want you on our side)
He tied the mark at forty-four
July the 1st, you know
Since then he's hit a good twelve more
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio
(Joe, Joe DiMaggio)
(We want you on our side)
From coast to coast that's all you'll hear
Of Joe the one man show
He's glorified the horsehide sphere
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio
(Joe, Joe DiMaggio)
(We want you on our side)
He'll live in baseball's Hall of Fame
He got there blow by blow
Our kids will tell their kids his name
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio
(We dream of Joey with the light brown bat)
(Joe, Joe DiMaggio)
We want you on our side
And now they speak in whispers low
Of how they stopped our Joe
One night in Cleveland
Oh, Oh, Oh
Goodbye streak DiMaggio
