GOD’S NOT A METS FAN

WE HOOPED AND WE HOLLERED IN THE ’86 SERIES

BUT TEARS SOON FLOODED THE SUBWAY SERIES

SO METS FANS TURNED TO HEAVEN AS WE BELIEVE

BUT GOD HAD SOMETHING UP HIS HOLY SLEEVE

BEFORE THE FIRST GAME WE TRIED TO BE SCARY

OUT TROTTED KEITH, MOOKIE, LENNY, AND GARY

OUR HEROES OF ’86 COULDN’T SCARE THE YANKS AWAY

LIKE THEY SCARED THE SOX AS BUCKNER’S LEGS GAVE WAY

(chorus)

OH RED SOX FANS SUFFER FROM BABE RUTH’S CURSE

BUT OUR NEW YORK METS HAVE IT MUCH MUCH WORSE

WORSE THAN BEING HAUNTED BY OLD BABE RUTH

GOD’S NOT A METS FAN AND THAT’S THE HELLISH TRUTH

GOD LOVES THE YANKEES I WISH IT WASN’T TRUE

BUT LOOK AT ALL THAT WE WENT THROUGH

THROUGHOUT THIS SERIES I CRIED WITH OUR METS

THE YANKEES ROBBED US WITHOUT REGRETS

OUR METS PLAYED THEIR HEARTS OUT BUT YANKEE PRIDE

TURNED CLOSE GAMES INTO WINS FOR THEIR SIDE

WHY ROGER THREW A BAT FASTER THAN HIS BALL

HOW COULD OUR METS HAVE ANY CHANCE AT ALL??

(repeat chorus)

NOW THOSE YANKEE FANS LAUGH IN OUR FACE

THEY DON’T BELIEVE WE’RE FROM THE HUMAN RACE

GOD WE’LL PRAY HARDER! PLEASE LET US WIN

BAN ROGER’S BAT AND BALL WE’LL BE A SHOO-IN!

(repeat last two lines and fade)
