Oh what a night,
mid-August 2008.
What a very special time for me,
‘Cause I remember what a night.
Oh, what a night,
You know, I didn’t even expect a win,
But I was never gonna be the same.
What a great game. What a night.
Astros tied going into the 10th.
Oh, I got a funny feeling when Berkman walked
Tejada on 2nd and I,
As I recall Lee sent the pitch a long way.
Oh, what a night,
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me.
It was everything I dreamed it’d be.
Sweet 10th inning, what a night!
I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spaz Spinnin’ my head around and taking it deep
Oh, what a night!
Oh, I got a funny feeling when Wright pitched
On the field and I,
As I recall it ended in a quick three.
Oh, what a night.
Why’d it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right.
What a great game, what a night!
I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Astros winning the game and making Cincy cry.
Oh, what a night!
