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 you 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 That we toast to the old days and DiMaggio too And old Drysdale and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you Oh, you know, the old gang ain't around, everyone has left town 'Cept for Thumm and Giardina, said they just might be down Oh, half drunk all the time and I'm all drunk the rest Yeah, Monk's still the champion, oh but I am the best And hey barkeep, what's keepin' you, keep pourin' drinks For all these palookas, hey you know what I thinks That we toast to the old days and DiMaggio too And old Drysdale and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you Guess you heard about Nash, he was killed in a crash Oh, that must have been two or three years ago now Yeah, he spun out and he rolled, he hit a telephone pole And he died with the radio on No, she's married, with a kid, finally split up with Sid He's up North for a nickel's worth for armed robbery And I'll play you some pinball, no you ain't got a chance Then go on over and ask her to dance And hey barkeep, what's keepin' you, keep pourin' drinks For all these palookas, hey you know what I thinks That we toast to the old days and DiMaggio too And Drysdale and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you
