They've Got Beginner's Luck

From days of Valentino to Pacino
Or in reverse,  M & M days to the Bambino's
They tell you that a beginner
Comes out a loser
Beginner pitching of rounders
Will be hit by a string of pounders
That's what I've always heard
Would usually in baseball occur
But now I don't believe a word!

For newbies get beginner's luck;
The first time they pitch
Against Yankee white and blue
Gosh they're lucky!

For newbies get beginner's luck;
Yank opponents always smile
It's so weirdly true
Gosh they're fortunate!

This thing we've begun
Confounds the pinstripe pastime,
For this time is the one
Where the first time is the Yankee worst time!

For newbies get beginner's luck;
Lucky through and through,
For the first time they pitch
Against Yankee white and blue
