Jolting Joe Di Maggio - Les Brown

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
