Lyrics

GOD?S NOT A METS FAN


WE HOOPED AND WE HOLLERED IN THE ?86 SERIES
BUT TEARS SOON FLOODED THE SUBWAY SERIES
SO METS FANS TURNED TO HEAVEN AS WE BELIEVE
BUT GOD HAD SOMETHING UP HIS HOLY SLEEVE

BEFORE THE FIRST GAME WE TRIED TO BE SCARY
OUT TROTTED KEITH, MOOKIE, LENNY, AND GARY
OUR HEROES OF ?86 COULDN?T SCARE THE YANKS AWAY
LIKE THEY SCARED THE SOX AS BUCKNER?S LEGS GAVE WAY

(chorus)

OH RED SOX FANS SUFFER FROM BABE RUTH?S CURSE
BUT OUR NEW YORK METS HAVE IT MUCH MUCH WORSE
WORSE THAN BEING HAUNTED BY OLD BABE RUTH
GOD?S NOT A METS FAN AND THAT?S THE HELLISH TRUTH

GOD LOVES THE YANKEES I WISH IT WASN?T TRUE
BUT LOOK AT ALL THAT WE WENT THROUGH
THROUGHOUT THIS SERIES I CRIED WITH OUR METS
THE YANKEES ROBBED US WITHOUT REGRETS

OUR METS PLAYED THEIR HEARTS OUT BUT YANKEE PRIDE
TURNED CLOSE GAMES INTO WINS FOR THEIR SIDE
WHY ROGER THREW A BAT FASTER THAN HIS BALL
HOW COULD OUR METS HAVE ANY CHANCE AT ALL??

(repeat chorus)

NOW THOSE YANKEE FANS LAUGH IN OUR FACE
THEY DON?T BELIEVE WE?RE FROM THE HUMAN RACE
GOD WE?LL PRAY HARDER! PLEASE LET US WIN
BAN ROGER?S BAT AND BALL WE?LL BE A SHOO-IN!

(repeat last two lines and fade)
