day on, Stevie carried the lessons of his dream with him, ready

to face any challenge and embrace every adventure.

Gee, It's A Wonderful Game

Ring Lardner

Who discovered the land

Of the brave and the free?

I don't know, I don't know.

'Twas Christy Columbus

Is what they tell me.

May be so, I don't know.

There's only one Christy

That I know at all

One Christy that I ever saw.

He's the one who discovered

The fade away ball,

And he pitches for Muggsy McGraw

Baseball, baseball

Ain't it a wonderful game?

Old Christy Colum'

Found this country, by gum

But the extras don't carry his name.

If old man Columbus

Had sat in the stand

Had seen Matty pitching that

"Fader" so grand

He'd have said

Boys, I'm glad I discovered this land.

Gee! it's a wonderful game.

Who lost out in the battle

Of old Waterloo?

I don't know, I don't know.

They say 'twas Na-po-le-on

May be it's true.

May be so, I don't know.

The pink sheets don't print

Mr. Bonaparte's face

No stories about him today,
