He was diagnosed with SMA when he was just a pup

So we got together to raise some money and keep his spirits up.

The toughness that our boy displays is just wonderful to see

And his heart is just as big as a lion, I'll tell you he could play for me

We look at Casey and wonder why he got the short shrift

But his parents know that from Heaven above, they had received a wonderful gift

And special thanks to Bobby Kelley, who put this thing together

And to the 150 who came to Jake's despite the miserable weather

We were able to raise lots of money to fight this terrible disease

And along with Casey, we'll keep fighting to bring it to its knees

To parents, Susan and Eugene, you're an inspiration to us all

Your love and devotion to your wonderful son makes you stand so tall

We're going to find a cure for this, I can tell you that

And, hopefully, in a few short years, we'll see our Casey up at bat

And we all know the poem, what that is all about

And we know our mighty Casey and that he'll never strike out.
