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