| The Love of the Game At the gate Saint Peter said, we're glad to see you son We needed a good player and we knew you were the one. It's baseball season here and we have a spot for you With you batting clean up, I think you'll pull us through. Saint Peter then took Teeny to meet his new team Teeny was so happy, he thought it was a dream. There was Mickey Mantle and Shoeless Joe And standing right in front of him was Joe DiMaggio. Teeny said to Saint Peter, "I can't play like they do." Saint Peter said, "Son, Even the Lord believes in you." "You can play just as good as all the rest. For on this team, we are known to only take the best." So he played with the best and what a sight to see For not only did he play each game, he won the MVP. As the baseball season came to it's end Saint Peter said to Teeny, no rest for you my friend. For your needed on the court, it's time for basketball. Teeny was so surprised, now he's seen it all. The greatest players of the game to ever play the sport Welcoming him to the team, letting him take center court. And when that season finished, Saint Peter wasn't through He said, it's time for football, and Lombardi asked for you. Teeny played in every game that Heaven ever had He only hopes his family knows that he is never sad. If he could only tell them, Heaven is so great And when your time comes I'll meet you at the gate. You'll have the best seats so you'll be able to see Watching me play for all eternity. |
