"The Umpire"
Lyrics written by Leob
Sung by Phil Rizzuto,
Tommy Henrich, Ralph
Branca, Roy Campanella &
Anne Lloyd
[chorus] The Umpire the Umpire
The guy who calls every
play
We ain't got no use for
the Umpire
unless he calls it my
way
[Anne Lloyd]
"Hey Tommy" [Tommy Henrich sings] He calls one a strike
that just misses my hat
and that's how I know
that he's as blind as a
bat
[Anne Lloyd] "Ralph" [Ralph Branca sings] I pitch them right over
he gives him a walk
I scratch my right ear
and he calls it a balk
[Anne Lloyd]"Phi" [Phil Rizzuto sings] I slide into second I'm
safe without doubt
but up goes his thumb
and the bum says you're
out
[Anne Lloyd] "Roy" [Roy Campanella sings] I tell him his eyes are
not all they should be
and next thing you know
its the shower for me
[chorus] The Umpire the Umpire
The guy who calls every
play
We ain't got no use for
the Umpire
unless he calls it my
way
[Anne Lloyd] "Tommy" [Tommy Henrich sings] He calls one against us
then changes his mind
and now our opponents
use language unkind
[Anne Lloyd]
"Ralph" [Ralph Branca sings] No matter which way he
decides there's a fight
he's right when he's
wrong, and wrong when
he's right
[Anne Lloyd]
"scooter" [Phil Rizzuto sings] I keep running bases in
dreams every night
I run and I run in a
terrible fright
[Anne Lloyd]"Campy" [Roy Campanella sings] A nightmarish creature
is following me
A horrible monster who
turns out to be
[chorus] The Umpire the Umpire
The guy who calls every
play
We ain't got no use for
the Umpire
unless he calls it my
way
