Champions

 © 2007 Ethan Elkind 

From the time we were young
We have come to watch a champion
Hands held high, never cold
Welcome to the world of the green and gold

You have all come to the right place
To watch your champion Oakland A’s

Perfect pitch, timely swing
It’s a melody we all can sing
Walk-off run at home plate
And the East Bay starts to celebrate

We know where to spend our summer days
Watching the champion Oakland A’s

Each generation knows where it’s at
Taking the train to the game for the crack of the bat
A celebration on the mound
From Diablo to the Bay the only game in town

We all hear Bill King’s play-by-plays
While we’re watching our champion Oakland A’s
Yeah we’re watching our champion Oakland A’s
