You Can Call Me Diz

You Can Call Me Diz
(Written by David Olney, John Hadley, Kevin Welch)


I was born in Arkansas a full grown man
Had a horsehide ball in the palm of my hand Flung that ball like a shiny pearl Dadgum thing went around the world You can call me Diz, you can call me Dean
I'm the best there is, boys, best you ever seen

I can make a ball talk, I can make it sing
I can heave it like a bullet through a wedding ring Throw so hard so the people say You better start swingin' yesterday You call me Diz, you can call me Dean I'm the best there is, boys, best you ever seen

Standin' on a hill up in big St. Lou
Struck a man out swingin' down in ol' Yazoo Beat you with my fastball, beat you with my curve Beat you with my fists if you get on my nerves You can call me Diz, you can call Dean I'm the best there is, boys, best you ever seen

Strike one! Strike two! Strike three! Yer out!
