To see him go and dressed like that, In his neat blue uniform with even a hat; When he goes to these games . . . if not every day, To call an error on every bad play.
He looks so formal when he's calling a strike, Now, this is one sport he really likes. He is always there when there is a fight, Even calls which team is really right.
He has so much patience and does his best, Even when he is tired and hadn't a rest; He'll do all this until the season expires, This is one man whose called an umpire.
