The Lyrics
A fond tribute to Ken Griffey Jr., who was traded by the Cincinnati Reds to the Chicago White Sox.
(Verse) There's an old man who's from Cincinnati
He's the old man that we loved to see
But the front office has all gone batty
'specially the boss, that Walt Jockerty!
(Chorus) Old Man Griffey, that Old Man Griffey
His spirit's mighty, his body's iffy!
They say he's jaded, so now he's traded away!
Swung his bat like a mighty mallet
A Hall of Famer on the first ballot
A real old sly fox, he's with the White Sox today
He plays hard and he plays brisk
Six hundred homers with no asterisk!
He has style and he has class
Without steroid needles sticking in his ass!
We'll be hoping that we'll be seein'
He'll get hacked off and deck Ozzie Guillen!
So Old Man Griffey, good luck, go out and play!
He's the old man that we loved to see
But the front office has all gone batty
'specially the boss, that Walt Jockerty!
(Chorus) Old Man Griffey, that Old Man Griffey
His spirit's mighty, his body's iffy!
They say he's jaded, so now he's traded away!
Swung his bat like a mighty mallet
A Hall of Famer on the first ballot
A real old sly fox, he's with the White Sox today
He plays hard and he plays brisk
Six hundred homers with no asterisk!
He has style and he has class
Without steroid needles sticking in his ass!
We'll be hoping that we'll be seein'
He'll get hacked off and deck Ozzie Guillen!
So Old Man Griffey, good luck, go out and play!
