3rd Base, Dodger Stadium [German translation]

Mister, you're a baseball man

As anyone can plainly see

Greatest game in this great land

Take a little tip from me

I work here nights parking cars

Underneath the moon and the stars

Same ones that we all knew

Back in 1952

And if you wanna know

Where a local boy like me is coming from:

3rd base, Dodger Stadium

2nd base, right over there

I see grandma in her rocking chair

Watching linens flapping in the breeze

And all the fellows choosing up their teams

Hand over hand on that Louisville

Crowning the top king of the hill

Mound to home, sixty feet

Baseball been very good to me

And if you wanna know

Where a local boy like me is coming from:

3rd base, Dodger Stadium

3rd base, Dodger Stadium

Back around the '76 ball

Johnny Greeneyes had his shoeshine stall

In the middle of the 1st base line

Got my first kiss, Florencia was kind

Now if the dozer hadn't taken my yard

You'd see the tree with our initials carved

So many moments in my memory

Well sure was fun 'cause the game was free

It was free

Hey Mister, you seem anxious to go

You'll find that seat in the 7th row

Behind home plate we used to meet

When we were young we had dreams

Just a place you don't know

Up a road you can't go

Just a thought laid to rest

In my mind, just a time

You care to know where I'm gonna go

When I hit my last home run?

3rd base, Dodger Stadium

3rd base, Dodger Stadium

3rd base, Dodger Stadium

Hey Mister, you are a baseball man

Yes, I’m a baseball man myself

Yes, I’m a baseball man too

Baseball been very good to me

Yes, baseball been very good to me
