lyrics
If I were to scream, would you hear me?
And if you heard, would you be listening?
Shameless how I gush, but you'd believe me
If just for once, the coach would put me in
1,2,3,4
Hall of fame's
Pre-ordained
So why am I praying for it every day?
Shrine of cans
What's the plan?
Fanatic doomed to never leave the stands
Gunning for the ice 'cause I just can't wait
I don't even have hockey skates
Running for the field like I'm armor-clad
I don't even have shoulder pads
No glove, no bat, no ball to throw
But I still feel like Joltin' Joe
DiMaggio
Every year it starts to feel less likely
This'll be my 1941
And my bravado is all I've got so
I'm knitting sweaters with the yarns I've spun, but they're not warm enough
Gunning for the ice 'cause I just can't wait
I don't even have hockey skates
Running for the field like I'm armor-clad
I don't even have shoulder pads
No glove, no bat, no ball to throw
But I still feel like Joltin' Joe
DiMaggio
Drunk and entitled
Enthusiasm remains unbridled
Pipe dreams
My steroids
They'll restore me and destroy me again, again, one more time
Gunning for the ice 'cause I just can't wait
I don't even have hockey skates
Running for the field like I'm armor-clad
I don't even have shoulder pads
No glove, no bat, no ball to throw
But I still feel like Joltin' Joe
DiMaggio
Now at the plate is DiMaggio
Now at the plate is DiMaggio
Now at the plate is DiMaggio
Now at the plate is DiMaggio
No wins, no hits, nothing to show
But I'm still the next DiMaggio
Amen
And if you heard, would you be listening?
Shameless how I gush, but you'd believe me
If just for once, the coach would put me in
1,2,3,4
Hall of fame's
Pre-ordained
So why am I praying for it every day?
Shrine of cans
What's the plan?
Fanatic doomed to never leave the stands
Gunning for the ice 'cause I just can't wait
I don't even have hockey skates
Running for the field like I'm armor-clad
I don't even have shoulder pads
No glove, no bat, no ball to throw
But I still feel like Joltin' Joe
DiMaggio
Every year it starts to feel less likely
This'll be my 1941
And my bravado is all I've got so

No wins, no hits, nothing to show
But I'm still the next DiMaggio
Amen

Wifey Brooklyn, New York
Wifey is a Brooklyn power-pop band formed by Teddy Grey and Carly Kerr, two hot dorks who prove that the theater-kid to punk- rocker pipeline is still claiming innocent victims. The two bonded over a mutual love of bubblegrunge, and began crafting the catchiest songs ever written. They were soon joined in marriage by Mickey Blurr on lead guitar, and Chris Canieso on drums, saving music forever. ... more
