A Sight For Sore Eyes

Hey a sight for sore eyes it's a long time no see
Working hard hardly working hey man you know me
Water under the bridge didya see my new car?
Well it's bought and it's payed for, parked outside of the bar
And hey barkeeper what's keeping you, keep pouring 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

Now 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, but I'm still the best

Guess you heard about Nash, he was killed in a crash
Hell that must of been two or three years ago now
Yeah, he spun out and he rolled, hit a telephone pole
And he died with the radio on
Now she's married and with a kid, finally split up with Sid
He's up north for a nickle's worth for armed robbery

Hey I'll play you some pinball, hell you ain't got a chance
Well then go on over and ask her to dance
And hey barkeeper what's keeping you, keep pouring 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
