lyrics

Six inches either way they say
McCovey’s shot gets thru
And the Giants win it all in ’62
In ’89 the ground it shook
Cars and homes were tossed
And oh, by the way, the games were lost

2002 the roof fell in
Just waiting on the brink
We cried until we filled
The kitchen sink with tears
2010 we reached the Promised Land
The Golden Road
And the Sun Shines on McCovey Cove

Pitch to Barry, Fear the Beard
Let Timmy Smoke
Humm Babe, Pacific Sock Exchange
Hit that Bottle of Coke
For the dreams that westward drove
For F.P. Santangelo
The Sun Shines on McCovey Cove

Willie, Speier, Barry, Bobby
Reuschel, Marichal, Dick Dietz
Montefusco, Alvin Dark
Cepeda sliding cleats up
Fillmore to the Golden Gate
Down Market St they rode
As the Sun Shines on McCovey Cove

Torrealba, Perry, Speier, Kuiper, Jim Ray Hart
Krukow, Woody, Clark and Williams, Mitchell
Late nights on the BART
Roger Craig and Charlie Fox
Herman Franks, Bruce Bochy
As the Sun Shines on McCovey Cove

Torres, Sanchez, Posey, Ross,
Huff, Burrell, Sandoval
Rowand, Renteria
Bumgarner, Cain and all
Uribe, Wilson, Lincecum
To history they drove
As the Sun Shines on McCovey Cove
