Walter Johnson

Oh I'm a going to tell you if you don't know,
Bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum.
About a great ball player from a long time ago.
Bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum.
Who's a hero to me I ain't putting you on son.
Cause I'm now going to tell the story of baseball's great
Walter Johnson.
And all through baseball he was loved and respected,
Well bitterness in Walter Johnson it was never detected.

Well now when pitchers throw their pitch to scare,
Bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum.
They actually try to almost hit that opposing player.
Doo da doo da doo da doo da doo da doo da doo.
Walter Johnson wouldn't do that not even just a little.
He made sure he through the baseball right down the middle.
And all through baseball he was loved and respected.
Was there bitterness in Walter Johnson well it was never
detected.

Now he pitched for the Washington Senators back in 1924,
Now, 1906,
Now look when the Washington 9 was inclined to win,
Bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum.
Cause Walter Johnson would actually ease up a little on the
opposition.
That's right.
Bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum.
Now the other team mates they simply didn't get it,
They said "Walter how come you let him hit it?"
Now Walter just told them with his gentle smile,
"Boys, This game isn't any fun if you don't get a hit once in a
while."
And all through baseball he was loved and respected.
Was there bitterness in Walter Johnson, well it was never
detected.

Now a record's just a record a book is just a book.
Bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum.
This Walter Johnson that I speak of never so much as gave the
opposing team a dirty look.
Bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum ba bum.
And a season's just a season and a game is supposed to be just a
game.
Walter Johnson cared about people more than he cared about fame.
So all through baseball he was loved and respected.
Ah bitterness in Walter Johnson well it was never detected.
HOO.
