"What a Year!"

Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo
Not a day goes past that I haven't flashed to that May to September,
In the sweet, sweet summer of '63, what a time to remember!
The Beatles were new and the Beach Boys, too;
The Jetsons, and the Flintstones--
WHAT A YEAR! What a fabulous year it was!
But the action scene for a boy thirteeen was a place in the city
Where the angels sang and the radios rang with a voice they called "Vinnie";
And the boys in blue made a dream come true
With a run for the ages,
WHAT A YEAR! What a fabulous year it was!
Sandy--oh, what a year he had! And Maury
Ran the attack for Tommy's bat;
3-Dog, Drysdale and Fairly,
Roseboro and Perrinoski,
Gilliam, Hondo and Moose--
Oh, what a team!
And that 4-game sweep really dug 'em deep--
Smokey's crew was tremendous;
WHAT A YEAR! What an awesomely wonderful year;
What a fabulous year it was--
And the mem'ries stayed with me all these years,
See it like it's crystal-clear--
Oh, WHAT A YEAR!
