Overture: Six Months Out of Every Year

When we met in 1938
 It was November
 When I said that I would be his mate
 It was December
 I reasoned he would be the greatest husband
 That a girl had ever found
 That's what I reasoned
 That's what I reasoned
 Then April rolled around
 Joe: Strike 3! Ball 4! Walk or run'll tie the score
 Yer blind ump! Yer blind ump!
 You must be out of your mind ump!
 Six months out of year
 I might as well be made of stone
 Six months out of every year
 When I'm with him
 I'm alone
 Six months out of every year
 He doesn't take me anywhere
 Six months out of every year
 When I play cards
 Solitaire
 The other six months out of every year
 We are hardly ever seen part
 But then the Washington Senators
 take over my place in his heart!
 Six months out of every year I might as well be wearing crepe
 Life is just an awful bore from which I found no escape
 Six months out of every year
 Husbands: Strike 3 ball 4
 Walk or run'll tie the score
 Fly ball, double play
 Yankees win again today
 Those damn Yankees!
 Why can't we beat him?
 He's out, he's safe, he's out, he's safe
 He's out, he's safe, he's out
 Yer blind ump! Yer blind ump!
 You must be out of your mind ump!
 Housewives: Six months out of every year
 He lives by the television set
 Husbands: He's out, he's safe, he's out
 Housewives: If you see that man of mine
 How does he look?
 I forget (Leeeeet's go!)
 Six months out of every year
 We know there is no other dame
 Husbands: He's out, he's safe, he's out
 Housewives: If he isn't home by six it's six to one
 There's a game (Leeeeet's go!)
 Six months out of every year
 When we cook for them it never pays
 (Ugh.)
 Instead of praising our goulash
 They're appraising the plays of Willy Mays!
 (He's out, he's safe, he's out, he's safe, he's out, he's safe, he's out)
 Six months out of every year (Strike 3 ball 4, walk a run'll tie the score)
 We might as well be wearing crepe (Fly ball double play, Yankees win again today)
 Life is just an awful bore from which I find (Those damn Yankees, why can't we beat them?)
 (He's out, he's safe, he's out, he's safe, he's out, he's safe, he's out)
 No escape (Yer blind ump! Yer blind ump! You must be out of your mind ump!)
 We're dying for the mercury to drop to 3 below (Leeeet's go!)
 We're crying for the happy days of icicles and snow (Leeeet's go!)
 We don't mind sleeping solo that is once a year or so (Those Damn Yankees...)
 But with them it's a career!
 (What are you waiting for?)
 (April, May, June, July, August) Men! (September!) Bah!
 April, May, June, July, August (Slide!) September (Oof!)
 Six months out of every year! (Yer blind ump, yer blind ump, you must be out of your mind ump!)
