Lyrics
Josh Feels Good Tonight When I moved to Pittsburgh I played ball night and day When I moved to Pittsburgh baseball night and day Now I’m the catching for the mighty Homestead Grays I hit so many moonshots they call me the black Babe Ruth I hit so many moonshots they call me the black Babe Ruth I just have to laugh and say man ain’t that the truth You know Josh feels good Josh feels all right You know Josh feels good Josh feels all right Josh feels good Yeah Josh feels good tonight When I get in a tight spot I flip up my ball cap When I get in a tight spot I flip up my ball cap I let the pitcher knows he in for a real big scrap Satchel Paige said hey Josh come on over here Satchel Paige said hey Josh come on over here It’s ok to look back just as long as you don’t stare Chorus Popeye eats spinach I drink Iron City beer Popeye eats spinach I drink Iron City beer Helps me smack that horsehide way out of here I’ve hit ‘em out of Wrigley I’ve hit ‘em out the Polo Grounds I’ve hit ‘em out of Wrigley I’ve hit ‘em out the Polo Grounds I hit ‘em so high the baseball never come back down Chorus In the states we’re careful everywhere we go In the states we’re careful everywhere we go But they treat us like kings down south in Mexico Johnson, Leonard, best who ever played this game Charleston, Bell the best who ever played this game Maybe someday they’ll let us in the Hall of Fame Chorus
