Meet The Mets Lyrics

Headed to Shea? Make sure you know the lyrics to the Mets ORIGINAL theme song, 1962's Meet The Mets. When I attended the game on Wednesday, I had to listen to Our Team Our Time, which is just an atrocity. But the Mets have decided to re-embrace their roots and will be having sing-a-longs during home games of their original theme song. Us transplanted Mets fans will just have to sing to ourselves at home.

Here are the lyrics:

Meet The Mets
Meet The Mets
Step right up and greet the Mets
Bring your kiddies, bring the wife
Guaranteed to have the time of your life!
Because the Mets are really socking the ball
Knocking those homeruns over the wall
East Side, West Side, everybody's coming down!
To meet the M-E-T-S Mets!
Of New York Town

Well the butcher and the baker and the people on the streets
Where do they go?
To Meet The Mets!
Well they're hollerin and cheerin and jumpin in their seats
Where do they go?
To Meet The Mets!

All the fans are true to the orange and blue
So hurry up and come on down
'Cause we got ourselves a ball club
The Mets of New York Town

Give 'em a yell!
Give 'em a hand!
And let them know you're rootin' in the stands!

Come on and Meet The Mets, Meet The Mets
Step right up and greet the Mets
Bring your kiddies, bring the wife
Guaranteed to have the time of your life!
Because the Mets are really socking the ball
Knocking those homeruns over the wall
East Side, West Side, everybody's coming down!
To meet the M-E-T-S Mets!
Of New York Town...
Of New... York... Town!
