Now we all know the story
Of what Dock Ellis did
How he threw a no-hitter
When he took a little trip
That was amazing and true
Though it was somewhat accidental
But let's not forget the game
When Dock really went mental
The Pirates' season was humbling
They came out of the gate stumbling
Dock had had enough
In the clubhouse he was grumbling
"Cincinnati is treating us
Just like a dog kicked to the curb"
Well this Dock's got some bite left
And it's gonna hurt
Down went Rose
Down went Morgan
Down went Driessen
He took one right in the organ
Dance, dance, dance, dance Tony Perez
Then two hits Johnny Bench
That was enough for the Reds
Yeah it really happened that way
That's what really happened the day
Oh, the day Dock went hunting heads
Now the ump didn't toss him
Though he had really crossed the line
He wasn't fined nor suspended
Though that was such a different time
Danny Murtaugh had to pull him then
But Dock's message rang loud and clear
A few pundits have opined that was the turning point
In the Buccos' year
Down went Rose
Down went Morgan
Down went Driessen
He took one right in the organ
Dance, dance, dance, dance Tony Perez
Then two hits Johnny Bench
That was enough for the Reds
Yeah it really happened that way
That's what really happened the day
Oh, the day Dock went hunting heads
Now you know I'm not saying
You young hurlers should try it
And if you claim you're just "wild"
The men in blue will never buy it
And if you think taking LSD
Might help you throw a no-hit game
You might consult a good drug counselor
In fact that's what Dock became
