Yankees This Year Lost Their Magic
(Sung to the tune of "Magic" by Olivia Newton-John)
Congratulations to the new champions of baseball, the Arizona Diamondbacks,
who were too much for the Yankees to overcome this year in the World Series

(instrumental intro)

In baseball land
Were the Yankees.
Every year you would find,
When they fell behind,
They'd always come through.

This year, their dream
Has been lost now.
Game Seven loss tough to take.
There's no room for mistakes.
Now their dynasty's through.

(instrumental break)

Yankees this year lost their magic.
Diamondbacks took it away.
Yankees this year lost their magic.
Game Seven lost the worst way.
They thought they could survive.
Lucky hits kept them alive.
Winning Games Four and Five,
To lose...
Winning Games Four and Five,
To lose...

The Yankees' grand three-year dynasty
Has vanished into thin air.
A bullpen loss so rare,
Which Rivera blew.

Now it's their turn to be so blue.
So close to winning it all.
But didn't catch the ball.
Let their lead slip through.

Yankees this year lost their magic.
Diamondbacks took it away.
Yankees this year lost their magic.
Game Seven lost the worst way.
They thought they could survive.
Lucky hits kept them alive.
Winning Games Four and Five,
To lose...
Winning Games Four and Five,
To lose...

Yankees this year lost their magic.
Diamondbacks took it away.
Yankees this year lost their magic.
Game Seven lost the worst way.
They thought they could survive.
Lucky hits kept them alive.
Winning Games Four and Five,
To lose...
Winning Games Four and Five,
To lose...
