(slowly)
O
nce there were two western guys
Who traveled east for baseball
We cheered their exploits on the field
And now they're in the great Hall
(up tempo)
Hats off to Gary
And Eddie too
There wasn't anything that
They couldn't do
They played the game now it's
The Hall of Fame Fame Fame
Ed and Gary going to Cooperstown
I know there's been some flap
That Gary wears an Expos cap
All the Mets fans say that it's okay
Hats off to Eddie
Playing first base
Three thousand hits, five hundred
Out of the place
He played the game now it's
The Hall of Fame Fame Fame
Ed and Gary going to Cooperstown
Hats off to Gary
Behind the plate
His hit in eighty six that
Sealed Boston's fate
He played the game now it's
The Hall of Fame Fame Fame
Ed and Gary going to Cooperstown
I know there's been some flap
That Gary wears and Expos cap
All the Mets fans say that it's okay
Hats off to Gary
And Eddie too
There wasn't anything that
They couldn't do
They played the game now it's
The Hall of Fame Fame Fame
Ed and Gary going to Cooperstown
