Willie Mays Is Up At Bat Lyrics - Chuck Prophet

I hear the church bells ring, Willie Mays is up at bat 

I hear the crowd go wild, all he did was touch his hat 

Meanwhile, Carol Doda, stood up and said I won't be ignored 

She showed them everything she had, then she showed them all a little more 

Jim Jones in his temple, on Geary Street right next to young Bill Graham 

Jim he walked right up to Bill, clicked his heels, said You know who I am 

Meanwhile Bugs and Daffy Duck were hitching up the coast to Pismo Beach 

While over in the Tonkin Gulf the Navy took a hit or so it seemed 

It's three on, two out, under the lights 

Nobody knows who'll make it home tonight 

Laffing Sal said Please don't go, don't leave me here alone to make a stand 

She looked so faded in the twilight down there where the breakers meet the sand 

Someone said to Laffing Sal, Hey Laffing Sal, just what you laughing at? 

She said I'm only laughing at myself, keep it down Willie's up at bat 

It's three on, two out, under the lights 

Nobody knows who'll make it home tonight 

Well that was all so long ago, there's always something else to be against 

And the only thing we know for sure is Willie always did swing for the fence 

It's three on, two out, under the lights 

Nobody knows who'll make it home tonight 

Yes, it's three on and two out, under the lights 

Nobody knows who'll make it home tonight 

Nobody knows who'll make it home tonight
