"Monbo Time"
(Copyright 2010 by Vern Miller, Barry Tashian, Fred Cantor and David Levin)
I remember the Citgo sign
High above Kenmore Square
The first time our dad
Took us there
Heading into Fenway
In a sea of blue and red
I still recall
The words he said
He said: Baby it’s Monbo Time
Baby it’s Monbo Time
Get ready for Monbo Time
In 1967
The Impossible Dream
With Yaz and Lonnie
Oh baby what a team
Then came Carbo’s homer
And Pudge saved the day
Ken Coleman and Ned Martin
Gave the play by play
Baby it’s Monbo Time
Baby it’s Monbo Time
Get ready for Monbo Time
Pedro Martinez
Really laid down the law
With Manny, Papi and Schilling
It was the greatest comeback of all
Today we’re three generations
Our kids have been to Fenway too
Now they’re part of Red Sox Nation
Like me and you
Baby it’s Monbo Time
Baby it’s Monbo Time
Get ready for Monbo Time
