"One night in Cleveland, oh, oh, oh, goodbye streak DiMaggio."

Who started baseball's famous streak that's got us all aglow?
He's just a man and not a freak, Joltin' Joe DiMaggio.
Joe, Joe DiMaggio, we want you on our side.
He tied the mark at 44, July the First, you know.
Since then he's hit a good 12 more, Joltin' Joe DiMaggio.
Joe, Joe DiMaggio, we want you on our side.
From coast to coast that's all you hear of Joe the one man show.
He's glorified the horsehide sphere, Joltin' Joe DiMaggio.
Joe, Joe DiMaggio, we want you on our side.
He'll live in baseball's Hall of Fame, he got there blow by blow.
Our kids will tell their kids his name, Joltin' Joe DiMaggio.
Joe, Joe DiMaggio, we want you on our side.
(We dream of Joey with his light brown bat.)
And now they speak in whispers low of how they stopped our Joe.
One night in Cleveland, oh, oh, oh, goodbye streak DiMaggio.
Joe, Joe DiMaggio, we want you on our side.
