[Intro]
C G C F G C
[Verse 1]
C
His uniform was baggy - he had gigantic feet
C
His hat was always cock-eyed & he had but a few teeth
G C
And a schnozz as big as Baltimore - and a heart as big as Devon
F G C
Max Patkin made the children laugh - and for that he’s gone to Heaven
[Verse 2]
C
Max Patkin, he was Vaudeville - last of the old time clowns
C
Funniest looking fellow - that ever went from town to town
G C
With the kind of face that he himself said - only a mother could love
F G C
With his loosey-goosey limbs - and his floppy leather glove
[Verse 3]
C
Max Patkin worked 3 innings - they let him coach first base
C
He’d call a meeting with the batter - and then kiss him on the face
G C
Then he’d do his chicken walk - and then his geyser bit
F G C
Where he’d take a sip of soda - tilt his head back and spit
[Verse 4]
C
Max would leave ‘em howling - then be slumped upon his stool
C
With his back against a locker - filling the whirlpool
G C
Dirtied up and sweaty - down to his stockinged feet
F G C
He’d give the clubhouse boy 5 dollars - to scrape the mud off of his cleats
[Verse 5]
C
The Clown Prince of Baseball - did 5,000 gigs
C
For 50 years he shared the bill - with circus dogs & talking pigs
G C
And by the 9th inning - he’d be back at his motel
F G
With an early morning wake-up call - and the next night he’d be someplace
C
else
[Verse 6]
C
The towels in every motel room - they all smell like chlorine
C
From the Rookie Leagues to Triple A - and all points in between
G C
And all those hotshot prospects - who ever were Big League bound
F G C
He saw ‘em on the way up - and some on the way back down
