Jackie's the man who taught us all,
How to play the greatest American pastime,
The game of baseball.

He is the man that showed us all,
That no mater how hard we trip or fall,
We can still reach our greatest goals,
As long as we give to it our all.

Every game he played he played his heart out,
While listening to the crowd curse his name out.

But in the end, all across the land,
You can still her the people cheering,
"Jackie's the Man!"
