Somewhere Between Old And New York |
| For 60 years he shined shoes in the same spot in the shadow of Yankee Stadium… |
| As he shines he hears the game, and in his mind he hears his name as if he |
| played for them… |
| Takes his turn at bat, there’s the pitch, he swings at it, and it’s gone… |
| Back through the years he’s gone… |
| To take the field with Ruth and Gehrig, bring the pennant home… |
| He sees himself in pinstripes, in a lineup of his own… |
| He’s stranded on a basepath, somewhere between old and New York… |
| As a customer asks for the shine, he snaps his cloth, another inning ends… |
| Dodgers come to bat, there’s a drive, he makes the catch to point he’s tossed |
| again… |
| His cloth becomes a glove, as he’s done with every customer he’s known… |
| Back through the years he’s gone… |
| To take the field with Maris and Mantle, bring the pennant home… |
| He sees himself in pinstripes, in a lineup of his own… |
| He’s stranded on a basepath, somewhere between old and New York… |
| Takes his turn at bat, there’s the pitch, he swings at it, there it goes… |
| Back through the years he goes… |
| Ride a ticker tape parade with Joe DiMaggio… |
| As he patiently signs an autograph with a spitshine on a toe… |
| He’s stranded on a basepath, somewhere between old and New York… |
| Oooooh… |
| Between old and New York… |
| Da-da-daaa… |
| Oooooh… |
| Between old and New York… |
| Oooooh… |
