Sung to the tune of The Longest John's version of "The Wellerman"
There once was a man that put out to sea His name was Hercules Alighieri The hail came down, the winds blew up O blow, my Herc bat, blow (huh) Soon may Hercules come To bring us coffee and homers and runs (hey) One day, when the Series is done We'll take our crown and go In his dreams, he met with gods Effigy in hand, froze to his palms Thrown from the mast, he sunk like stone A distant light came from The Atlantean Dome (huh) Soon may Hercules come To bring us coffee and homers and runs (hey) One day, when the Series is done We'll take our crown and go Before the bat had hit the ball Spoke in his dreams the gods did call His chilled hand held the effigy tight Went into the flames, his pregame rite (huh) Soon may Hercules come To bring us coffee and homers and runs (hey) One day, when the Series is done We'll take our crown and go Shouts from the crowd gave him no fear Bat to the plate, his crew be here Hercules looks up, knowing they look down Resolved to bring us all the crown Soon may Hercules come To bring us coffee and homers and runs (hey) One day, when the Series is done We'll take our crown and go For 99 days or even more His bat lands true, to even the score Other teams were lost, their time is nigh Send it to the air, let the banners fly Soon may Hercules come To bring us coffee and homers and runs (hey) One day, when the Series is done We'll take our crown and go As far as I’ve heard, the fight’s still on The bat swings true, and the gods not gone Ol Hercules drinks a coffee iced right Sweet is the dome, and the water just right Soon may Hercules come To bring us coffee and homers and runs (hey) One day, when the Series is done We'll take our crown and go Soon may Hercules come To bring us coffee and homers and runs (hey) One day, when the Series is done We'll take our crown and go
