Lyrics
c LITTLE ANTHONY,BIG ANTHONY & THE BABE
MUSIC AND LYRICS: ANTHONY N PREZIO
DO YOU THINK IT'S GONNA RAIN TODAY? NO I DON'T THINK ITS GONNA RAIN, I THINK ITS GONNA POUR
DO YOU THINK THE SUN WILL EVER SHINE//DO YOU THINK THE BASEBALL GAME, GONNA START ON TIME
GONNA PRAY TO THE LORD,THAT IT DOESN'T RAIN //ANYMORE
DO YOU THINK THE YANKEES ARE GONNA BEAT 'EM THIS YEAR
NO I DON'T THINK THE YANKEES ARE GONNA BEAT EM, I THINK THEY'RE GONNA CREAM'EM
DO YOU THINK THE METS WILL TAKE IT ALL/HOW YOU THINK MY GIANTS ARE GONNA DO IN THE FALL?
YOU KNOW I COULD'VE BEEN A GREAT BASKETBALL PLAYER//IF I WAS 7 FEET TALL.
SO I QUESS//I'LL JUST HAVE TO BE WHO I AM//SOMETIMES IT'S SO HARD TO FACE THE TRUTH//BUT I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ANOTHER BABE RUTH
CAUSE THE BABE//HE MADE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAPPY/AND HE SURE GAVE THE BALL QUITE A RIDE
WELL IF MY SONGS//MAKE A FEW PEOPLE SMILE//WELL I'LL BE LIKE THE BABE/HIT 'EM LONG SO I NEVER HAVE TO SLIDE.
DO YOU THINK YOU'LL WRITE ONE GOOD SONG TODAY? NO, I DON'T THINK I'LL WRITE ONE GOOD SONG//I THINK I'LL WRITE TWO
FIRST, I'M GONNA WRITE ONE FOR MY FINGERS,, THEN I'M GONNA SIT DOWN AND WRITE ONE//JUST FOR YOU
AND WE'LL HOLD HANDS//AND BE LISTENING//TO MY FINGERS.
