Freddy and the Baseball Team from Mars
1st edition cover and endpapers
And Freddy began to sing:
"The Martians are comin', Oho! Oho!
The Martians are comin', in mud, in snow.
With bats and with balls and with fifes and
with drummin',
The Martians are comin', Oho! Oho!
The Martians are comin', Hooray! Hooray!
The Dodgers and the Yankees they'll play, they'll
play!
They'll mop up the earth, then they'll tackle
the planets,
Constantly yellin', Hooray! Hooray!"
