Lyrics

[00:13.32] All the sailors with their seasick mamas
[00:19.33] Hear the sirens on the shore,
[00:25.14] Singin' songs for pimps with tailors
[00:30.98] Who charge ten dollars at the door.
[00:37.28] You can really learn a lot that way
[00:43.33] It will change you in the middle of the day.
[00:49.38] Though your confidence may be shattered,
[00:55.12] It doesn't matter.
[01:01.64] All the great explorers
[01:07.29] Are now in granite laid,
[01:13.23] Under white sheets for the great unveiling
[01:19.58] At the big parade.
[01:25.63] You can really learn a lot that way
[01:31.72] It will change you in the middle of the day.
[01:37.73] Though your confidence may be shattered,
[01:43.52] It doesn't matter.
[02:13.87] All the bushleague batters
[02:19.57] Are left to die on the diamond.
[02:25.99] In the standsthe home crowd scatters
[02:32.19] For the turnstiles,
[02:38.10] For the turnstiles,
[02:43.99] For the turnstiles.
