Don't Call Them Twinkies

In 1965, I wasn't quite alive yet
 But I'm told they gave the MVP to Zoilo Versalles
 Oliva hit the singles and Harmon hit the homers
 Mudcat Grant won 20 games and they didn't play in a dome yet
 The Dodgers came to Bloomington to play for the World Series
 The Twins took the first two, you can even ask Vin Scully
 But Sandy Koufax proved to be a bit too much to crack
 And the Twins went down in seven but they vowed that they'd be back
 From Nicollet to Hennepin, from St. Paul to St. Cloud
 The Minnesota Twins are making Minnesotans proud
 And we don't buy our titles so there are summers where we stink
 But these are grown men, these are heroes
 Please don't call them Twinkies
 In the fall of 87, I was pretty much in heaven
 I got my license and a girlfriend and the Twins had won the pennant
 I prayed more in the Dome than I ever did at church
 Kirby Puckett had the smile, Kent Hrbek had the smirk
 First we tamed the Tigers, then we were dealt the Cards
 And they came to the Twin Cities to try to make sense of our park
 It was loud and it was close and it went to seven games
 But the Twins took home the title and that sweet music played
 From Edina to Duluth, from the south side to downtown
 The Minnesota Twins are making Minnesotans proud
 So, hey, let's make some noise, come on, wave those Homer Hankies
 These are grown men, well, these are heroes
 Please don't call them Twinkies
 In 1991, the Twins were once again on top
 We faced Atlanta in the Series and they thought that they were hot
 I've never seen nothing so lame as that Fondahawk chop
 But we were up against the ropes when Kirby called his shot
 And as he ran around the bases, smiling, pumping fists
 We all knew that he had won it, though it was only just game six
 And the next night, Jack Morris came and made his hometown proud
 You should watch it in slow motion, Ron Gant was clearly out
 From Mankato up to Brainerd, from Burnsville to Bemidji
 Now we're playing outdoor baseball and that's the way it should be
 Raise a toast to Kirby Puckett, raise another to Tom Kelly
 These are Minnesota Twins, so let's not call them Twinkies
 We've got Justin, we've got Joe, that's enough reason to party
 We don't buy our titles and we've still won two World Series
 Grab yourself a 3.2 beer, raise a toast to Gardy
 These are the Minnesota Twins, so please don't call them Twinkies
 Please don't call them Twinkies, please don't call them Twinkies
 From Mankato up to Brainerd, from Burnsville to Bemidji
 Now we're playing outdoor baseball and that's the way it should be
 (Please don't call them Twinkies)
 Raise a toast to Kirby Puckett, raise another to Tom Kelly
 These are Minnesota Twins
 (Please don't call them Twinkies)
 We've got Justin, we've got Joe, that's enough reason to party
 We don't buy our titles and we've still won two World Series
