Yankee Song:
I Wanna Be A New York Yankee
Lyrics
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be a New York Yankee.
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be a New York Yankee!
Playing for champions is what I want to do.
The Yankee Pride the Pinstripe Blue!
To be a Yankee to me
Winning, class and history
Are New York Yankees who I want to be.
All kinds of players have played the game,
But Babe Ruth brought the New York Yankees fame.
The stadium is the "House that Ruth Built"
We moved across the street and we're winning still.
The '56 series: no hitter, perfect game
Larson to Berra, the game will never be the same.
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be a New York Yankee.
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be a New York Yankee!
Playing for champions is what I want to do.
The Yankee Pride the Pinstripe Blue!
Players and coaches from A to Z
A-Rod to Zimmer, I want that to be me.
Athletes come, and athletes go
Here are the Yankees that we know!
Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle - The Mick,
Thurman Munson, Bobby Murcer, Gene Michael - The Stick,
Red Ruffing, Randolph, Reggie, Phil Rizzuto
Maris, Mussina, Mattingly, Billy Martin, Mariano
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be a New York Yankee.
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be a New York Yankee!
Playing for champions is what I want to do.
The Yankee Pride the Pinstripe Blue!
Derek Jeter, Wee Willie Keeler, King Kong Keller, Jorge Posada
Let's pitch some more and run the bases.
You know the names and you know the faces.
Joe Gordon, Lefty Gomez, Ron Guidry
Johnny Blanchard, Elston Howard, Bill Dickey
Allie Reynolds, Eddie Lopat, Vic Raschi
Johnny Murphy, Joe Page and Dave Righetti
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be a New York Yankee.
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be a New York Yankee!
Playing for champions is what I want to do.
The Yankee Pride the Pinstripe Blue!
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be a New York Yankee!
Playing for champions is what I want to do.
The Yankee Pride the Pinstripe Blue!

Bio
Frank Filipowski:
Former Peace Corps Volunteer in Nigeria, former Mayor of Rye Brook, NY, attorney in private practice and lifelong Yankee fan. The youngest of 11 was born in Goshen, NY. His father would drive him to the Bronx to see the Bombers and vividly recalls seeing Mantle and Marris hit home runs in the same game. He had always thought of lyrics for Yankees' songs and his son Josh wanting to "Be A Yankee" gave him the impetus to write one. Stay tuned sports fans- there are more in the works...
Josh Filipowski:
Is a comedian/English teacher/Yankees fan living in Santa Monica, CA. He wanted to be a New York Yankee from an early age and often immitated Dave Winfield's right field wall catches. Growing up in Rye Brook, 20 minutes North of Yankee Stadium, Josh and his friends frequently attended games, sporadically started waves and avidly rooted for the home team. His favorite job interview question is "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" to which he's replies "Playing for the New York Yankees." Works every time.
