SAYIN’ WE’RE IN FOR BETTER WEATHER -- COMES THE RAIN, THE SNOW AND SLEET ---
HE KEEPS RIGHT ON PREDICTIN’ -- I KEEP TUNIN’ IN ---
THE WAY IT FIGURES OUT -- HE HITS JUST ONE IN TEN.
THAT’S THE WAY THE OLE BALL BOUNCES -- TAKES SOME MIGHTY FUNNY HOPS ---
IF HE’S ONLY ONE IN TEN -- THE OTHER NINE MUST BE FLOPS ---
BUT HE WON’T BE DISCOURAGED -- GREAT, FOR WE NEED THIS BREED ---
