When you're down and confused
And you don't remember when you didn't lose
Don't put your betting slips away
Because a big score is one game away
Well there's Pete Rose with a fist of ones
Bet the Phillies now, plus two runs
And if you just can't bet the team you love, Petey
Bet the team you're with, bet the team you're with
Bet the team you're with, bet the team you're with
Don't be angry, don't be sad
And don't sit crying 'cause your luck's been bad
There's a phone right next to you
And a bookie that's waiting to lay five to two
Well there's Pete Rose with a fist of ones
Bet the Phillies now, plus two runs
And if you just can't bet the team you love, Petey
Bet the team you're with, bet the team you're with
Bet the team you're with, bet the team you're with
Doo doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Doo doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Doo doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Do do doot, do do doot
Instrumental Interlude
Turn your heartache right into joy
Pick the right team, don't get destroyed
Get it together, make it nice
You ain't gonna need twelve-step advice
Well there's Pete Rose with a fist of ones
Bet the Phillies now, plus two runs
And if you just can't bet the team you love, Petey
Bet the team you're with, bet the team you're with
Bet the team you're with, bet the team you're with
Doo doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Doo doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Doo doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Do do doot, do do doot
December 15, 2002: For the past week or so, there has been a lot of talk about a deal in the works to get Pete Rose reinstated after a 13 year banishment. To this point, Pete has not admitted that he bet on baseball. My good friend Ed gave me the idea for the song and I ran with it.
