Tom Clark - "To Al Dark"

Even though you act like "Mary Had A little Lamb"
was your theme song these days,
Al, you were damn fine ballplayer and a hard
nose one at that

I remember you from the days when I was an usher
and you were playing third for the Cubs
in the twilight of your career like they say

You looked so game-experienced, mean inside, and lowdown Southern tough
I'd never have guessed
you'd wind up going all smarmy and religious

but then you'd probably never have guessed
I'd end up writing books about it
