There's a good reason
Why Pete can't get into the Hall
Yes, there's a good reason
Why Pete can't get into the Hall
He was a baseball bettor
A play the odds man, yeah
He didn't think anyone would find out.
Bart found out
Pete's a big liar
He says that he didn't bet
He's a denier
He hasn't come clean as yet
He was a baseball bettor
A gambler every day
The game had no choice 'cept throw him out
And now he's out.
(Musical interlude, featuring George Harrison guitar solo)
Pete won't admit it
But evidence piled so high
Says Pete should just quit it
But he'll just deny and deny
That he's a baseball bettor
An obsessive compulsive guy
And he can't get into the Hall of Fame
And that's his shame.
March 9, 1999: Every time the Hall of Fame gets new members, we hear the same cry about Pete Rose not being allowed in. This little song explains why.
