[Verse 1] Have you heard of the heroes who have lately come to town? A hard bitten corps of pro’s and vets. They are hardy they are hale and their enemies turn pale when they face that fearsome band The New York Mets. [Verse 2] They’re devoted to their duties and they never shun or shirk They are ready day and night to give their all With no sacrifice to great On occasion here of late A Met has been known to hit the ball [Verse 3] Their direction is supreme and their manage ment surperb And Casey’s clear instructions clearly ring The situation well in hand He will call out his command And no one understands a goddam thing. [Verse 4] Well Mets are here to stay and they’ve won the whole town’s hearts And the love we bear for them will never end For the Yanks have lost their sheen Since we found our own ball team The New York Mets - the team that need a friend.
