Around the Horn
The Yankee infield knew the score
The Iron Horse was losing the was losing the war
They watched Lou go out and man his post
Weak as a lamb, white as a ghost
​
When "strike three!" the umpire shouts
The Yanks begin to throw the ball about
But looking over they think it might be best
To let Lou Gehrig have a moment's rest
​
First the basebll leaves the catcher's hand
Sails to third, but they will skip one man
Short to second, straight back to the mound
Around the horn is one man down
​
One by one, a new team came to town
And they saw the way the Yanks threw the ball around
And since they loved the man, and loved the game
Across the league, each team would do the same
​
First the baseball leaves the catcher's hand
Sails to third, but they will skip one man
Short to second, straight back to the mound
Around the horn is one many down
​
So, to this day, in case you wonder why
That man at first, the others still pass by
It's because they're standing where the shadow falls
Of Lou Gehrig, the greatest of them all
