OK Blue Jays (Let's Play Ball!)
The treasured theme song for the Toronto Blue Jays, "OK Blue Jays (Let's Play Ball)".
It is sung by a fictional group "The Batboys" and has been around since the 1985 ALCS. Ever since then, it has been played during the 7th inning stretch and currently has been remixed into some sort of dance song, but expect nothing but the best old school original version from your boys at Mop Up Duty. This baseball "fight" song exemplifies the politeness for which Canadians are known for. Some things to note:
- Dave as mentioned in the song (putting down a smoker, a strike...) is none other than Dave Stieb
- You've got nine men
- You've got a hat and a bat
- And that's not all
- You've got the bleachers
- Got 'em from spring 'til fall
- You got a dog and a drink
- And the umpire's call
- Waddaya want?
- Let's play ball!
- (Chorus)
- Okay (okay)
- Blue Jays (Blue Jays)
- Let's (Let's) Play (Play) Ball!
- Is that a fly ball
- Or is it a seagull
- Coming in from the lake
- Just to catch the game?
- It's the last inning
- Our guys are winning
- Dave's put down a smoker
- A strike
- And you've got no doubt
- (You're out!)
- Waddaya want?
- Let's play ball!
- (Chorus)
- It's a beautiful evenin', fans
- At the ballpark
- Warm summer breezes
- Sun's goin' down
- And it's all dark
- At the ballpark
- But that's okay...it's a night game
- Waddaya want?
- Let's play ball!
- (Chorus)
- Bring on the White Sox
- Bring on the BoSox
- Bring on the Brewers
- The Rangers and the Yankees too
- We'll beat the Indians
- We'll beat the Tigers
- We'll beat the A's so bad it'll make
- Billy blue
- Waddaya want?
- Let's play ball!
- (Chorus)
Love this song!
Wish they played it during televised events so that I can hear it at home on the TV.
GO JAYS.
