The ACME Dodger Page
Willie, Mickey & The Duke
Verse 1:
The Whiz Kids had won it,
Bobby Thomson had done it,
And Yogi read the comics all the while.
Rock 'n' roll was bein' born,
Marijuana we would scorn,
So down on the corner the National Pastime
went on trial.
Chorus:
We're talkin' baseball (Kluzewski,
Campanella),
Talkin' baseball (The Man and Bobby
Feller),
The Scooter, The Barber and The Newk,
They knew 'em all from Boston to
Dubuque,
Especially Willie, Mickey and The Duke.
Verse 2:
Well Casey was winnin',
Hank Aaron was beginnin',
One Robby goin' out, one comin' in.
Kiner an' midget Gaedel,
The Thumper an' Mel Parnell,
An' Ike was the only one winnin' down in
Washington.
Chorus
We're talkin' baseball (Kluzewski,
Campanella),
Talkin' baseball (The Man and Bobby
Feller),
The Scooter, The Barber and The Newk,
They knew 'em all from Boston to
Dubuque,
Especially Willie, Mickey and The Duke.
Bridge:
Now my old friend The Bachelor,
Well he swore he was The Oklahoma
Kid,
An' Cookie played hookey to go an' see The
Duke,
An' me I always love Willie Mays,
Those were the days.
Verse 3:
Well now it's the eighties,
An' Brett is the greatest,
An' Bobby Bonds can play for everyone.
Rose is at the Vet,
Rusty again is a Met,
An' the great Alexander is pitchin' again in
Washington.
Chorus:
I'm talkin' baseball (like Reggie,
Quisenberry),
Talkin' baseball (Carew an' Gaylord
Perry),
Seaver, Garvey, Schmidt an' Vida Blue,
If Cooperstown is callin' it's no
fluke,
They'll be with Willie, Mickey an' The Duke.
Fade Out:
Willie, Mickey an' The Duke,..
(Say Hey! Say Hey! Say Hey!)
It was Willie, Mickey an' The Duke,..
(Say Hey! Say Hey! Say Hey!)
I'm talkin' Willie, Mickey an' The Duke,..
(Say Hey! Say Hey! Say Hey!)
Willie, Mickey an' The Duke,..
(Say Hey! Say Hey! Say Hey!)
Say Willie, Mickey an' The Duke,..
(Say Hey! Say Hey! Say Hey!)

Not sure where you can get them but the true title is not just about the
Yankees. Mickey was a Yank but Willie Mays was a NY GIant and Duke
Snider was a Brooklyn Dodger. It's title is "Willie, Mickey and the
Duke" and it was written and recorded by one-time minor league catcher
Terry Cashman.

Actually, he did several versions of the song. The "Willie, Mickey, and
the Duke" version was national, but there were several local versions
as well featuring only the players on the local teams. There was a
Yankees one.
