I Ain't What I Used To Be,

He (branch Rickey) Must Think I Went To The Massachesetts Constitution Of Technology.

If Satch (paige) And I Were Pitching On The Same Team, We Would Clinch The Pennant By July Fourth And Go Fishing Until World Series Time.

I Won Twenty-eight Games In Thirty-five And I Couldn't Believe My Eyes When The Cards Sent Me A Contract With A Cut In Salary. Mr. Rickey Said I Deserved A Cut Because I Didn't Win Thirty Games.

I Know Who's The Best Pitcher I Ever See And It's Old Satchel Paige, That Big Lanky Colored Boy. My Fastball Looks Like A Change Of Pace Alongside That Little Pistol Bullet Ole Satchel (paige) Shoots Up To The Plate.

I Can't Tell You Why There's A Delay, But Stick Your Head Out Of The Window And You'll Know Why.
