Great Yogi Berra story,it may(or may not tickle some British funny bones)During Spring training many years ago the Queen,or was it the Queen Mother,was touring the States.While visiting Florida she went to a Yankee spring training game.After the game she met with some of the Yankee players and when introduced to Mr Berra,who was seasonly clad in a pair of Bermuda shorts and a short sleeve shirt,remarked to him that he looked cool(in relation to the hot humid weather)Yogi replied,and I quote"You don't look so hot yourself"

I'd about forgottten it's delighful lyrics until he put it up to remind us and then translate the song.
