Story behind the song
Some years back, the Pennsylvania Legislature with due disregard for separation of church and state, passed a resolution disapproving of the scheduling of baseball and hockey games by three Pennsylvania franchise on Good Friday.
Lyrics
Imprtant men in Harrisburg
got nothing better to do.
Good Friday makes them holy, so
I write down this song for you
Phillies and Flyers and Pirates, too,
They all got a big game to play
But the good men in Harrisburg
Don't like it on Good Friday, and so they say
How can they play on Good Friday and
Cheapen the name of the lord?
How can they play on Good Friday,
It should be against the law
Kissing babies and shaking hands
A resolution they wrote
Isn't this an election year?
Don't unholy people vote?
Important men in Harrisburg
Don't want your children to stray
No hypocrites in Harrisburg
Do they get enough pay? And so I say
What do they do on Good Friday
To cheapen the name of the lord?
Do they get paid on Good Friday?
It should be against the law!
