Do you know how to pitch to Ruth?
Will I get him out ‘fore I’m long in the tooth?
How do I pitch to Ruth?
Do you know?

Do you think, maybe we could score
Before I face him some twenty runs or more
That’s what I hope before
I’m to throw.

Once I was in the minor leagues.
I never imagined such spots as these.
It’s bad enough to have line drives come at me
But now there’s Lou Gehrig if Ruth strikes out on me.

Can I manage Babe Ruth to face,
With nobody out and these three men on base?
I’d rather bronze my face
Than to throw.

I tried to stall and blew my nose.
Then took off my shoes and just counted my toes.
But I’m their last guy, and “Play ball” I’ve heard.
So I’ll just throw something and go back up third.

Do you know, where that’s going to?
Looks like it will land somewhere in Timbuktu.
Now I’ve got Gehrig, too.
O-oh no!

Normally I’m just a pitcher
But these guys think I’m a rocket launcher.
Glad all aren't that super
in The Show.
