LYRICS:
I wanna be, I want to be
I wanna be a New York Yankee.

I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be a New York Yankee!

Playin' for champions is what I wanna do.
The Yankee Pride the Pinstripe Blue!

To be a Yankee to me:
Winning, class and history
A New York Yankee is who I wanna be.

All kinds of players have played the game,
But Babe Ruth brought the New York Yankees fame.

The stadium is the "House that Ruth Built"
We moved across the street and we're winning still.

The '56 series: no hitter, perfect game
Larson to Berra, the game will never be the same.

I wanna be, I want to be
I wanna be a New York Yankee.

I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be a New York Yankee!

Playin' for champions is what I wanna do.
The Yankee Pride the Pinstripe Blue!

Players and coaches from A to Z
A-Rod to Zimmer, I want that to be me.

Athletes come, and athletes go
Here are the Yankees that we know!

Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio
Thurman Munson, Mickey Mantle, Jack Chesbro
Red Ruffing, Reggie Jackson, Mariano
Roger Maris, Mattingly and Phil Rizzuto

I wanna be, I want to be
I wanna be a New York Yankee.

I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be a New York Yankee!

Playin' for champions is what I wanna do.
The Yankee Pride the Pinstripe Blue!

Derek Jeter, Wee Willie Keeler
Charlie Keller and Yogi Berra

Let's pitch some more, and run the bases.
You know the names and you know the faces.

Roger Maris, Lefty Gomez, Ron Guidry
Earle Combs, Joe Gordon, Bill Dickey
Dave Winfield, Eddie Lopat, Vic Raschi
Jorge Posada, Whitey Ford and all the Yankees!

I wanna be, I want to be
I wanna be a New York Yankee.

I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be a New York Yankee!

Playin' for champions is what I wanna do.
The Yankee Pride the Pinstripe Blue!

I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be a New York Yankee!

Playin' for champions is what I wanna do.
The Yankee Pride the Pinstripe Blue!
