Theme Songs for Every Yankee

(I've always thought it was a shame that American fans don't sing like their European counterparts. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that our sports are way less boring, but anyway, it'd still be fun to hear everyone in Yankee stadium in full throat. With that in mind, here are theme songs for all 5 Yankee starting pitchers and the regular lineup.




Theme song sung to the tune of: "Fat-Bottomed Girls" by Queen

Ohhhh! You're gonna get a win tonight!
Ohhhh! You're gonna set the place alight!
Ohhhh! It's gonna be a lovely sight!
Sabathia, you make the Yankee world go round!




Theme song sung to the tune of: "Time of the Season" by The Zombies

What's your name? (What's your name?)
Hughes your daddy? (Hughes your daddy?)
Can he pitch like me?
Can he make (can he make)
Uncle Charlie (Uncle Charlie)
Go diving from...twelve to six?
The swings will come up wanting
Can you dig?
The papers call me haunting
It's the time of the season
for Phil Hughes!




Theme song sung to the tune of: "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies

Ohhhh Andy!
(do do dooo doo do do)
Come on Mister Pettitte!
(do do dooo doo do do)
It's almost October now
and we know you're on the case
Pettitte
(do do dooo doo do do)
Come on Dandy Andy!
(do do dooo doo do do)
You are our lefty ace
And we're going to win it all!




Theme song sung to the tune of: "Song for Myla Goldberg" by The Decemberists

Javy Vazquez sets a steady hand inside his glove!
Javy Vazquez hurls a heater, and laces it with love
It spins around
It spins around
It spins around
It spins around
Still waiting down at the plate-
The patient batttt-er
It's only eighty-seven...
Swing and a miss-
a strikeout for Javy!




Theme song sung to the tune of: "Dueling Banjos"

(Instrumental)




Theme song sung to the tune of: "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z

Je-ter!
Yankee shortstop that dreams are made of!
There's nothing he can't do!
Je-ter!
The sweetest swing we remember-
He's Mr. November!




Theme song sung to the tune of: "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night

Nick Swisher is a Bomber!
Owns a World Series ring
He's a hero in the bleachers out in deep right field
And he makes the lumber sing!

Oh what a lovely swing!

And we all say...

Joy to the Yanks!
Everyone give thanks!
Joy to the Creatures out in 2-0-3!
Joy to you and me!




Theme song sung to the tune of: "Tomorrow" from Annie

Another one out-
Teixeira!
Bet your bottom dollar that Teixeira
hits home runsssss...

From right or from left
Teixeira!
He's the switch-hit slugger
and gold gloverrrr....

Teixeira!
Teixeira!
We love you! Teixeira!
You're simply the best around.




Theme sung song to the tune of: "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" from Wizard of Oz

A-Rod
He might go yard!
He hits so hard!
Be on your guard!
A-Rod
He might go yard again!

A-Rod
He might go deep!
It's never cheap!
The pitchers weep!
A-Rod
He might go deep again!




Theme song sung to the tune of: "Hang on Sloopy" by The McCoys

Robbie is a man who hails from the Do-min-i-can (oooo-ooo-ooo)
and everyone we know wants to see our Robbie win (oooo-ooo-ooo)
Robbie all the old men say you play like Carew (oooo-ooo-ooo)
So come on Robbie now, hit it sweetly like you do... (oooo-ooo-ooo)

And so we sing out!

Swing on, Robbie!
Robbie Cano!
(with hand signals:) C-A-N-O!
Swing on, Robbie!
Robbie Cano!
(with hand signals:) C-A-N-O!




Theme song sung to the tune of: "Angel of the Morning" by Juice Newton

We see no need to hold our tongues...
He's far too old to go unsung!

Just call him Jorge, of the Yankeeees! (Jorge)
Touch every base along the way, baby
Just call him Jorge, of the Yankeeees! (Jorge)
Then slowly...trot away




Theme song sung to the tune of: "Rock You Like a Hurricane" by The Scorpions

More hits to come
More bags to steal
He's gotta run
He knows the deal!

Grand-er-son!
Rock us like a hurricane!
Grand-er-son!
Rock us like a hurricane!




Theme song sung to the tune of: "La Cucaracha"

Senor Cervelli!
Senor Cervelli!
Looks just like a ten year-old
And when he hits it
You'd never know that
he is really twenty-four!

(He'll get a better theme song when he earns it, okay?)




Theme song sung to the tune of: "Born to Run" by Springsteen

Baby first base is a thorn in his side!
It's a death trap! It's a suicide ride!
He's got the fastest trigger on the speediest gun!
He's Brett the Jet! Baby he was bornnnnn to run!
