Lyrics

Cool Papa, Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa

You've all heard of baseball greats
Like the Babe and Joltin' Joe
The stars that played for the major leagues
Are the names that most folks know
Cool Papa Bell was one of the best
But the majors would not let him in
They didn't care about his ability
Only the color of his skin

Cool Papa, James Cool Papa Bell (Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa)
Cool Papa, James Cool Papa Bell (Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa)
Cool Papa, James Cool Papa Bell (Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa)
Cool Papa, James Cool Papa Bell (Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa)

Cool Papa Bell ran as fast as the wind
And he could hit a screamin' line drive
Satchel Page called James Cool Papa the fastest man alive
He could round the bases in 13 seconds flat
Was a master with his glove and a wizard with the bat
In the Negro league he played for 29 years
James Cool Papa Bell

Cool Papa, James Cool Papa Bell (Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa)
Cool Papa, James Cool Papa Bell (Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa)
Cool Papa, James Cool Papa Bell (Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa)
Cool Papa, James Cool Papa Bell (Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa)

He barnstormed the country, playing two or three games a day
He became legendary, one of the greatest to ever play
One of the greatest to play

Papa, daddy

He got his start at the age of 16 with the St Louis Stars
After nine seasons Cool Papa hooked up with the Kansas City Monarchs
He played with Pittsburg and Chicago
In the Dominican Republic and Mexico
Spent his final years with the Home State Grays
Cool Papa Bell

Cool Papa, James Cool Papa Bell (Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa)
Cool Papa, James Cool Papa Bell (Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa)
Cool Papa, James Cool Papa Bell (Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa)
Cool Papa, James Cool Papa Bell (Cool Papa, Cool cool Papa)
