YOGI BERRA BLUES song lyrics
mostly by Yogi Berra


if you don't know where you're going,
you might wind up someplace else
if you don't know where you're going,
you might wind up someplace else
if you aint hitting blame the bat
you don't have to blame yourself

in theory there's no difference
between theory and practice
in theory there's no difference
between theory and practice
but when you finally get to practice
you will find there really is

it aint over till it's over
fat lady sings before the game
it aint over till it's over
fat lady sings before the game
I'm just a kid from the hill
who ended up in the Hall of Fame

baseball's ninety percent mental
the other half is physical
baseball is one half physical
and mental bout 90 percent
it's just like deja vu
all over again

I never said most things
everybody said I said
I never said most things
everybody said I said
I guess I must be lucky
got a museum 'fore I'm dead

when you come to the fork in the road,
take it
when the reporters want a quote
fake it
the record's gonna stand
till it's broken
there aint no wisdom in a man
less it's spoken
Yogi Berra was a man,
sonny
he said I don't really mean
to be funny

I wanna thank every one
for making this night necessary
thank each and every one
for making this night necessary
and just remember in the sun
it aint the heat, it's the humility
