Damn Yankees (film)

Damn Yankees is a 1958 musical film made by Warner Bros., a modern version of the Faust story involving the New York Yankees and Washington Senators baseball teams. The film is based on the 1955 Broadway musical of the same name.

The film version was directed by George Abbott, as was the earlier stage version, with assistance from Stanley Donen. With the exception of Tab Hunter in the role of Joe Hardy (replacing Stephen Douglass), the Broadway principals reprised their stage roles, including Gwen Verdon as Lola.

A notable difference between film and stage versions was Gwen Verdon's performance of the song "A Little Brains". For the film, Verdon’s suggestive hip movements (as choreographed by Bob Fosse and performed on stage) were considered too risqué for a mainstream American film in 1958, and so, in the film, she simply pauses at these points.

The film was released in the United Kingdom under the title What Lola Wants, to avoid use of the word "Damn" on posters, hoardings and cinema marquees. It was also possibly because the title's pun, alluding to the American Southerner's colloquial term for Northerners ("damn Yankee") would be lost on foreign audiences.

The Game

[ROCKY]
we've got to think about the game!
[ALL]
The game, the game!
We've go to think about the game,
The game, the game!
Booze and braods may be great,
though they're great they'll have to wait,
While we think about the game!
[ROCKY]
There was that waitress back in Kansas City,
Built for comfort, dumb but pretty!
[ALL]
Yeah? Yeah?
[ROCKY]
Man, her perfume sure smelt sweet,
Got her up to my hotel suite!
[ALL]
Yeah? Yeah?
[ROCKY]
She killed a pint of gin more or less,
The lights were low and she slips of her dress!
[ALL]
Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?
[ROCKY]
But then I thought about the game!
[ALL]
The game, the game!
[ROCKY]
Oh, yes, I thought about the game!
[ALL]
The game, the game!
[ROCKY]
Though I got the lady high,
I just left her high and dry,
Cause I thought about the game!
[ALL]
He thought about the game!
[SMOKEY]
There was that pullman car that I got lost in,
On a sleeper out of Boston!
[ALL]
Yeah? Yeah?
[SMOKEY]
Compartment doors all look the same there
Walked in one and there's this dame there!
[ALL]
Yeah? Yeah?
[SMOKEY]
Blonde, and stacked, and absolutely bare,
And nothin' separatin' us but air!
[ALL]
Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?
[SMOKEY]
But then I thought about the game!
[ALL]
The game, the game!
[SMOKEY]
Oh, yes, I thought about the game!
[ALL]
The game, the game!
[SMOKEY]
Though my heart said stay for tea,
All I said was pardon me!
Cause I though about the game!
[ALL]
He thought about the game!
[MICKEY]
When a chick gives you the eye, remember-
[ALL]
Abstain!
[LOWE]
When you're dyin' for some rye, remember-
[ALL]
Refrain!
[HENRY]
If you're losin' at crap and the clock says it's eleven,
Ans suddenly each roll you roll-"huh"- comes up a seven,
And you're in the kind of dive, where men are men,
[ALL]
Be polite, say goodnight, you should be in bed by ten!
[SMOKEY]
When your mother bakes you cakes, remember-
[ALL]
Saty thin!
[ROCKY]
When you're kissin' till it aches, remember-
[ALL]
Don't give in!
Every rule we shall obey to be sure,
Cause to win we've gotta stay, good and pure,
Good and pure! Mumm.
[SMOKEY]
Hey, Rock, remember those twins we took a ride with,
Operatin' side by side with,
[ALL]
Yeah? Yeah?
[SOMKEY]
We're out of gas three miles from Philly,
[ROCKY]
The night is warm, the sky's a dilly,
[ALL]
Yeah? Yeah?
So I suggest we sleep beneath a tree
[ROCKY]
Four minds with a single thought
[SMOKEY]
I look at my girl,
[ROCKY]
I look at mine
[SMOKEY]
Then with one fell swoop-
[ALL]
But then they thought about the game!
The game, the game!
[ROCKY & SMOKEY]
Oh, yes, we thought about the game!
[ALL]
The game, the game!
to our women one and all,
We will see you in the fall,
But for now we've got to stall,
Every dame!
And think about the game!
Think about the game,
Think about the, think about the, think about the, think about the,
Think about the game!
