Jolten Joe Dimaggo

"Jolten" Joe Dimaggio was a nations hero.

Yet alone he lay whispering while dying.

Marilyn Monroe left this world to soon for Joe.

And that's the reason for forty years of crying.

Baseball cards and bubble gum.

Are worthless when your heart is done.

And don't it seem so sad to see our Jolten Joe.....

Dimaggio.

Crying!

Hotel rooms and traveling around-waiting for the next train in town.

Maybe she'll show and take him away from counting days.

The pinstripe suit was laying down and Joe would dream her dancing around.

But to dance alone with memories just breaks your heart.

Baseball cards and bubble gum.

Are worthless when your heart is done.

And don't it seem so sad to see our Jolten Joe.....

Dimaggio.

Crying!

Legend tells the story well even without the kiss and tell.

Yet still is heart was always Hollywood wandering.

Adulation from a crowd and circle the diamond you know so well.

Because we remember all the times you made us cheer.

Baseball cards and bubble gum.

Are worthless when your heart is done.

And don't it seem so sad to see our Jolten Joe.....

Dimaggio.

Crying!
