From the recording Damn Good And Ready
Lyrics
Ty Cobb’s Chiclets
His name between the lines was the Georgia Peach
Known throughout the league as an S.O.B.
He sharpened his spikes with a metal file
He was hated and feared and he never cracked a smile
His headstone was poured extra heavy
They buried him deep to make sure he’d stay buried
When he got old he lost all his teeth
He got him some new ones just so he could eat
At night when he finally laid down his head
He put his old teeth in a glass by his bed
When he died his teeth were auctioned away
That’s just not right and all I can say
Tell me who’s the fool
Who’s the fool
Who’s the fool
who bought Ty Cobb’s Chiclets?
SOLO
When God called him home who knows where he went
If He opened his arms or told him to get bent
On The Field of Dreams they didn’t want him to play
He was the first player ever in the Hall of Fame
People are crazy it don’t matter to me
But buy an old mans teeth?
Man, you’re outta your tree
Tell me who’s the fool
Who’s the fool
Who’s the fool
who bought Ty Cobb’s Chiclets?
