Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball? Songtext
von Buddy Johnson

Did you see Jackie Robinson hit that ball?
It went zoomin′ cross the left field wall.
Yeah boy!
Yes, yes. Jackie hits that ball.

And when he swung his bat,
The crowd went wild,
Because he knocked that ball a solid mile.
Yeah boy!
Yes, yes. Jackie hit that ball.


Satchel Paige is mellow,
So is Campanella,
Newcombe and Doby, too.
But it's a natural fact,
When Jackie comes to bat,
The other team is through. Boy.

Did you see Jackie Robinson hit that ball?
Did he hit it? Boy, and that ain′t all.
He stole home.
Yes, yes, Jackie's real gone.

Did he hit it? Boy, and that ain′t all.
He stole home.
Yes, yes, Jackie′s real gone.
Jackie's is a real gone guy.
