Pine Tar Wars Lyrics

Well, the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times 
Carried the story in BIG HEADLINES 
How Kansas City George was robbed that day 
When Tar Baby Billy took his bat away 
 
 
It was two men out in the top a' the ninth 
It was one a' them classic settin's 
The Goose on the mound in that Big Apple town 
And George is up there battin' 
 
 
As the crowd chants "Goose!" 
He turns it loose 
With fire and smoke and ash 
George sends it deep  
In the right field seats 
Another timely crash 
 
 
As he rounded third and he headed on home 
Was a gleam in Billy's eye 
Dick wondered "What's he up to now? 
"I know this guy's real sly." 
 
 
Billy grabbed the bat as both teams sat 
In awe upon the benches 
Says, "There ya are! That there's pine tar! 
"An' it's a whole lot more'n eighteen inches!" 
 
 
[Chorus] 
Tar Baby Billy can you hear our song? 
Did you cry about the game last night? 
Cry Baby Billy tell us all what's wrong? 
All you wanna do is fight 
You like a child, kickin' dirt on the umpire's shoes 
That's the way you've always been 
So now we're gonna take that pine tar rag 
And rub it in your face again 
 
 
So Tim thought it through, and he asked the crew 
Then with bat in hand, he shouted 
"You're out! The home run just don't count! 
"I'm gonna have ta disallow it!" 
 
 
Well, the sky was clear and the day was hot 
But George was even hotter 
'Till Lee got wise, and said "Hey, you guys! 
"This claim ain't a-gonna hold water." 
 
 
[Chorus] 
Tar Baby Billy can you hear our song? 
Did you cry about the game last night? 
Cry Baby Billy tell us all what's wrong? 
All you wanna do is fight 
You like a child, kickin' dirt on the umpire's shoes 
That's the way you've always been 
So now we're gonna take that pine tar rag 
And rub it in your face again 
 
 
Well, the fans was riled and suits was filed 
To create a long dee-lay 
Then Billy's team, apparently,  
Was just afraid to play 
 
 
Now the stage was set and Billy bet 
That he had the upper hand 
But Billy was fooled when the big court ruled 
"You gonna play this game, as planned!" 
 
 
[Chorus] 
Well, Tar Baby Billy can you hear our song? 
Did you cry about the game last night? 
Cry Baby Billy tell us all what's wrong? 
All you wanna do is fight 
You like a child, kickin' dirt on the umpire's shoes 
That's the way you've always been 
So now we're gonna take that pine tar rag 
And rub it in your face again 
 
 
With affidavits (notarized) 
That George had touched 'em all 
The umpire said, "We a step ahead.  
"Gonna put an end to Billy Ball." 
 
 
"We done heard the call for Billy Ball 
"We ain't never gonna hear it again 
"Just like the cheer for Billy's Beer 
"When the Democrats was in." 
 
 
Now the game they played that summer day 
Won't be famous for the scores 
But the incidents that have happened since 
Will be remembered as TAR WARS 
 
 
[Chorus] 
Tar Baby Billy can you hear our song? 
Did you cry about the game last night? 
Cry Baby Billy tell us all what's wrong? 
All you wanna do is fight 
You like a child, kickin' dirt on the umpire's shoes 
That's the way you've always been 
So now we're gonna take that pine tar rag 
And rub it in your face again
