AnswerIt's summer again up in Boston, The Red Sox are playing today, and once that first ball has been tossed in, another game gets underway.

Hey, Hey Red Sox, we're all here to lend you a hand, Go Go Red Sox, the best dog gone team in the land. AnswerIt's summer again up in Boston

The Red Sox are playing today

And once that first ball has been tossed in

Another game gets underway

I always sit up in the bleachers

I get such a wonderful tan

I scream and I yell like a madman

So the Sox know I'm their biggest fan

There's 2 outs and bases are loaded

3 balls and 2 strikes is the call

The crowd is now standing and cheering

'Cause Yaz hit one over the wall

And now it's the end of the inning

The Sox are ahead 12 to 10

I'm so glad when my home team is winning

I've got pennant fever again

Hey hey Red Sox

We're all here to lend you a hand

Go go Red Sox

The best doggone team in the land

The batters are swinging like crazy

The outfield is holding their own

It's so good to be back in ol' Fenway

I consider it my second home

Hey hey Red Sox

We're all here to lend you a hand

Go go Red Sox

The best doggone team in the land

Hey hey Red Sox

(Hey! Hey!)

We're all here to lend you a hand

Go go Red Sox

(Go! Go!)

The best doggone team in the land

The best doggone team in the land...

AnswerThe song, entitled The Red Sox Song (A Day In Fenway Park), was written and copyrighted by Wayne Ulaky, formerly of The Beacon Street Union. It was written right after the 1975 World Series. In the late 1970's it was played on Boston TV Channel 38 as a promo for upcoming game broadcasts, and occasionally played by John Kiley, the organist at Fenway Park.

[No, it was written for the 1972 pre-season, when the Sox TV broadcasts moved to WBZ-4. They created that crazy cartoon of a pilgrim in a Sox uniform, holding a musket and a bowl of baked beans. My buddy used to sing it as "There's pants falling down in old Fenway; The outfielders hold up their own..."]

At some point there's a voice that interjects "Dewey." I remember this song, 35 or so years later, but as a kid Dwight Evans was my favorite RS player.
