VERSE 1:

I was 8 years old, my birthday present?
A baseball glove and my first Jays fitted
I felt like Robbie my fingers to the sky
I can still hear the call: "a swing and there's a drive!"
Big league dreams for a kid to cherish
One team, one color, brought a country together
I'll never forget it: "Winfield wants noise!"
Who knew feeling 'blue' could bring so much joy?
Devo on patrol looking like Willie Mays
Bob Davidson blew it, we knew it’s a triple play
Guzman the jheri curl, Gruber the mullet
Bring ‘The Terminator’ in and soon we knew it was over
The flashbacks, memories, they making me smile
Tom Cheek painting pictures through your radio dial…
"There's a bunted ball! Timlin! To Carter!
And the Blue Jays win it! THE BLUE JAYS WIN IT!
THE BLUE JAYS ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!!"

CHORUS:

Take a look into the sky
Close my eyes and I can see it
Spread our wings and we take flight
Give you something to believe in
It's our time, tonight's the night
Got a whole country dreaming
Never forget, the first time I heard it myself
I'll never forget that: "SWING AND A BELT!"

VERSE 2:

The start of '93, echoed through all of Canada
Put the banner up: DEFENDING WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!
Fantasy roster, seven All-Stars
I swear this team was sent from the heavens above
Second to none, Dad and I, we watched it all
Those bats on fire like a Beeston cigar
W.A.M.C.O., that acronym everyone ought-a-know
White, Alomar, Molitor, Carter and Johnny O
.400 flirting, hotter than a smoked-out soufflé
Even Americans singing: "OK, Blue Jays!"
Who could forget about Tony and Rickey?
Cito had the team buzzing through the whole dang city
Stand on Mr. Gillick, he never was standing Pat
Borders framing border-line pitches behind the mask
Remember, while those two trophies sit on the shelf
REST IN PEACE TOM CHEEK: "A SWING AND A BELT!"

CHORUS:

Take a look into the sky
Close my eyes and I can see it
Spread our wings and we take flight
Give you something to believe in
It's our time, tonight's the night
Got a whole country dreaming
Never forget, the first time I heard it myself
I'll never forget that: "SWING AND A BELT!!"

VERSE 3:

The dawn of a brand new day
At the home of #1 Blue Jays Way
'I Love This Team', keep believing til our dreams come true
30-million-plus strong and we bleed blood blue
We stuck thru it and we still holding on
The memories sustain us even though you're gone
28 years with a mic in his hand
1430 and 590 The Fan
The times that we had, he spoke and brought 'em to life
SkyDome, 50,000, every single night
Now, each spring hopes eternal through the summer and fall
Together just like Joe, we'll be "TOUCHING 'EM ALL!"
I can still hear the roar, what a joyous thunder
Baritone in my stereo, that "Voice of Summer"
Playing in my loudspeaker
Heavens got an angel in the outfield...

CHORUS:

Take a look into the sky
Close my eyes and I can see it
Spread our wings and we take flight
Give you something to believe in
It's our time, tonight's the night
Got a whole country dreaming
Never forget, the first time I heard it myself
I'll never forget that: "SWING AND A BELT!!"
