Just for fun, here’s a little holiday song about an imaginary Red Sox game on Christmas day. Sing along to the tune of “Sleigh Ride”:
Just hear those cleats a-jingling
Bats ring-tingling, too
Come on, it’s lovely weather
For a ballgame together with you.
Outside the snow is falling
The fans are calling for “Yoooouk!”
Why wait for April weather?
It’s Christmas at Fenway with you.
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap
Jacoby goes
He’ll put on a show
Stealing home in a Fenway full of snow.
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, grand slam
To the outfield stands
Pedey’s gliding along to the song
of a Fenway Park Bullpen Band.
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we.
We’re snuggled up together like Jerry and Don
and Wally.
Let’s take the Sox before us
And sing them a chorus or two.
Come on, it’s lovely weather
For a ballgame together with you.
There’s a Christmas party upstairs in the broadcast booth
It’ll be the perfect ending to the Curse of Ruth
We’ll be singing the song “Sweet Caroline” without a single stop
From the bleachers while we watch Big Papi’s pop
Pop! Pop! Pop!
There’s a happy feeling even those ol’ Yanks can’t buy
When the first few chords of “Dirty Water” fill the sky
It’ll be just like a re-run of the ‘04 series high
These wonderful games are the games
We remember all through our life.
Repeat verse 1, 2, 5, 6.
