The Lyrics
Now the seats are all empty
Citifield will open soon
And old Shea will be torn down
We had so much fun, and we hate to leave
As we wait here for the Final Play
We cheer the Mets in our little town
But all the echoes that I hear
The memories so dear
When the games were oh so sweet, and we all cheered
And that was neat but as I hear the sound
Of Citifield goin' up next door
There's some things that you should know...
The Beatles played there, so did the Stones
And Janis Joplin and finally, Billy Joel
'Cause when it came to music, see
You know Shea was the place to go
'Cause when Bruce played there with the E Street Band
We all were there to raise our hands
The Police, the Who and Paul and Art, too
And Elton John, to name a few
And we made such a fuss
When Broadway Joe called the plays
Even the Yankees played at Shea in the middle 70's
And the Pope, he was there
Shea opened up for the World's Fair
But alas, it looked so plain
And while some Met teams were just bad dreams
And caused the fans much pain
Sometimes they would win and we all would cheer
And we remembered why we came
Yes we had old Casey Stengel at the helm, happy clown
We had Buddy, Koosman, Agee, Mex, and Cleon Jones
We had Willie Mays and Darryl days
We had Kingman and McGraw
We had Lee Mazilli and "Le Grande Orange"
We would sit up high in the upper deck
On those splendid summer days
And the only time that seemed too short
Was the time the Mets got to play
Let us cheer for the miracle of '69
And in '86 everyone was feelin' fine
Have a beer, give a cheer
You know Santana is here
And as the jets roar not so high above, we say
We're gonna have new glory days
It's almost time to take our leave
But always say, "You've gotta believe..."
We have Shea just a little bit longer
Where Seaver played, just a little bit longer
'Cause Todd Hundley played there,
And Howard Johnson played there
Mike Piazza played there
And Gill Hodges managed fair
And Bobby Valentine
Oh, we have Shea, just a little bit longer
Jose, Jose, Jose, play your best, play your best
Oh, let's have Shea, just a little bit longer
Where Gooden played, just a little bit more
Now if the Wilpons don't mind, And if Manaya don't mind
David and Carlos play fine, let us have a good time
Playin' October games...
