The Lyrics

Robinson Cano, Andy Phillips, Melky Cabrera, Chien-Ming Wang... Who said the Yankees were old? The numbers where the OS's ages go are years in which the Yanks won the World Series... this could be a long one.
When I grow up to be a Yank...?

Will I play as well as the guys I loved as a kid?
Will I hit home runs to make the bleacher fans flip their lid?
Will I cruise around
(will I cruise around)
to restaurants in town
(to restaurants in town)
when I grow up to be a Yank?

Will I join Derek Jeter in finding fun with the girls?
(Twenty-three, twenty-seven)
Will I help A-Rod finally become champ of the world?
(Twenty-eight, thirty-two)
Will we have parades
(will we have parades)
or will glory fade
(or will glory fade)
when I grow up to be a Yank?

Ooh-woo...
Ooh-woo...

Will my kids be proud, or think their old man stinks like a Met?
(Thirty-six, thirty-seven)
If I lose to the Red Sox, will I deserve the booing I get?
(Thirty-eight, thirty-nine)
Will my baseball wife
(will my baseball wife)
enjoy that kind of life
(enjoy that kind of life)
when I grow up to be a Yank?

Oh, Holy Cow!

When I grow up to be a Yank?

(Forty-one, forty-three)
Legends forever!
(Forty-seven, forty-nine)
That ain't so bad!
(Fifty, fifty-one)
Legends forever!
(Fifty-two, fifty-three)
That ain't so bad!
(Fifty-six, fifty-eight)
Legends forever!
(Sixty-one, sixty-two)
That ain't so bad!
(Seventy-seven, seventy-eight)
Legends forever!
(Ninety-six, ninety-eight)
That ain't so bad!
(Ninety-nine, two thousand)
