[Verse 1]
C# G# A#m C#
We grew up together, in New York City
F# G# C#
Oh, how the time has flown by
C# C# A#m C#
We were inseparable, closer than brothers
F# G# C#
My best friend Sammy and I.
C# G# A#m C#
We’d play by the oak tree, in back of my house
F# G# C#
Tossing a ball to and fro
C# C# A#m C#
Each one of us dreaming, pretending to be
F# G# C#
The great Joe DiMaggio.
[Chorus]
F# G# A#m C#
One day we each bought a package of Topp’s
F# G# C#
And opened them under the tree
A#m F# G#
Look Sam! I’ve got Joe DiMaggio’s card
F# C#
And he was so jealous of me.
F# G# F#
I lovingly hid it, deep inside my drawer
F# G# C#
Where it would be safe as can be
A#m G# F# G# F#
And I vowed I would keep it forever and ever
C# G# C#
It was so precious to me…
C# G# C#
It was so precious to me.
[Verse 2]
C# G# A#m C#
When we grew older, and left for Yeshiva
F# G# C#
A# change could be seen from the start
C# C# A#m C#
Sam loved to study while I loved to daydream
F# G# C#
Slowly we drifted apart.
C# G# A#m C#
I watched him grow, in his learning and faith
F# G# C#
With a mixture of envy and pride
C# C# A#m C#
I realized with sadness, no more could it be
F# G# C#
My best friend Sammy and I.
[Chorus]
F# G# A#m C#
Many years passed, as I watched my own children
F# G# C#
Playing outside in the yard
A#m F# G#
I remembered the friendship of long, long ago
F# C#
And the great Joe DiMaggio’s card.
F# G# F#
Collectors would come, they would knock at my door
F# G# C#
Letters arrived in the mail
A#m G# F# G# F#
We’ll pay half a million, your card it is one of a kind
C# G# C#
I’d answer them, it’s not for sale …
C# G# C#
I’d answer them it’s not for sale.
[Verse 3]
C# G# A#m C#
I’d read in the papers, from time to time
F# G# C#
Of events in the life of my friend
C# C# A#m C#
He became Rosh Yeshiva, of our old school
F# G# C#
And now was a leader of men.
C# G# A#m C#
But there was a fire that ravaged his school
F# G# C#
I knew it just might break his heart
C# C# A#m C#
So I reached in my drawer and said my goodbyes
F# G# C#
To the great Joe DiMaggio’s card.
[Chorus]
F# G# A#m C#
One day my grandson came home from Yeshiva
F# G# C#
Holding a card that was new
A#m F# G#
Look Zaide! Reb Shmuel is one of the Gedolim
F# C#
And I’m giving his card to you.
F# G# F#
I lovingly hid it deep inside my drawer
F# G# C#
Where it would be safe as can be
A#m G# F# G# F#
And I vowed I would keep it forever and ever
C# G# C#
It is so precious to me…
C# G# C#
It is so very precious to me.
