Song lyrics:

"The Yankee From Parral"
©℗ Chuk Peña Music

Verse 1:
It's Opening Day!
We celebrate Durango's son
Family and friends
Celebrate Number Seventy-one

And today,
Is a perfect day for baseball
The ball is now in play
Restless fans going wild
For their Yankee from Parral

Chorus:
And Papa says
Life is like a baseball game
You've got to wait, for the pitch
That has your name

We all have days, good and bad, yet
Never allow the fear of a strike
To stop you from playing the game!

Verse 2:
When one is up at bat
And Life is your pitcher
Grand slam, or bunt
At all times, keep your eyes on the ball

Strike one,
You feel your arms tiring
Two, three, YOU'RE OUT!
Drop the bat, head held high
Like our Yankee from Parral

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
You can win
Or you can lose,
Or it can rain,
This is life, and you must pay your dues

Home run!
The fans are going crazy
Friends are full of pride
Give a shout, and a cheer
To our Yankee from Parral

(Chorus) x2
