[00:16.810] We've gathered here to bid adieu
[00:18.810] Us Boston boys, alas are few
[00:20.970] Some from crosstown some from the coast
[00:23.200] To give our skipper one last toast
[00:25.310] We'll pour the good stuff round his casket
[00:27.680] Drop some coin into the basket
[00:29.700] Bow our heads and praise the Lord
[00:31.660] Then rouse ourselves and strike a chord...
[00:33.740]
[00:33.980] Lets raise a glass and lift it up
[00:35.900] Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup
[00:38.070] And hail the lads that won the crown
[00:40.130] That brought victory to our ground
[00:42.350]
[00:42.650] Lets raise a glass and lift it up
[00:44.610] Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup
[00:46.670] And hail the lads that won the crown
[00:48.640] While turning baseball upside down
[00:51.210]
[00:59.320] We hit 'em hard, we hit 'em clean
[01:01.590] The pitching of Big Bill Dineen
[01:03.660] Some legged a bunt, some hit them out
[01:05.830] Remember old Buck Freeman's clouts
[01:07.850] We'll sing of Candy, Cy and Freddy
[01:10.120] Patsy Dougherty, Broadway Hobe,
[01:12.490] Chick, and Jack O'Brein
[01:13.850] Honus Wagner sat there cryin'
[01:16.470]
[01:16.680] Lets raise a glass and lift it up
[01:18.800] Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup
[01:20.860] And hail the lads that won the crown
[01:22.820] That brought victory to our ground
[01:25.090]
[01:25.250] Lets raise a glass and lift it up
[01:27.220] Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup
[01:29.330] And hail the lads that won the crown
[01:31.290] While turning baseball upside down
[01:34.000]
[01:50.790] Our days with you indeed were great
[01:52.910] and now that you have crossed the plate
[01:54.870] and scored that final run of life
[01:56.930] We'll hug your kids and kiss your wife
[01:59.360] and tell of how you played the game
[02:01.270] and led us all to wealth and fame
[02:03.450] We'll lift our heads with one loud voice
[02:05.510] Pay homage to "The People's Choice"
[02:08.280]
[02:09.940] Lets raise a glass and lift it up
[02:11.960] Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup
[02:14.080] And hail the lads that won the crown
[02:16.150] That brought victory to our ground
[02:18.360]
[02:18.510] Lets raise a glass and lift it up
[02:20.430] Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup
[02:22.550] And hail the lads that won the crown
[02:24.670] While turning baseball upside down
[02:27.240]
[02:33.880] Lets raise a glass and lift it up
[02:41.950] Lets raise a glass and lift it up
[02:50.620] Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup
