I could hit another double
On the bases, I’ll be trouble
My speed they truly fear
I could win a batting crown
Buy a jacket filled with down
If I only had a beard.
I could hit a buncha dingers
Date those beautiful New York singers
My buck teeth re-veneered
I could sign a big fat deal
Buy a Truck with alloy wheels
If I only had a beard.
Oh, I could tell you now
No beard was holdin’ me back
I could play a tape with all those K’s
A beard could get me on the right track.
I could be an everyday player
Rub elbows with the mayor
My career to be re-steered
And our team could win a title
Have a parade and a recital
If I only had a beard.
Good luck with the facial hair experiment this year NY Yankees! I can’t wait to see if growing a beard gets you closer to a World Series title. My bet is – it will not. Go Red Sox!!!
