(really long intro)
PLAY BALL!!
(more intro)
The lights go on, another game day
I grabbed my bat, I'm headed for the plate
but the first pitch was a curve, and I was done!
(umpire) STRIKE ONE!
stepped out of the box, looked the pitcher in the eye
you could read his lips, they poked your mind
So I gave my way and said, "let's see what you can do"
(umpire) STRIKE TWO!
Gotta keep my eye on the ball, swing straight and true and follow through
Don't be afraid, what-ever the call!
Because we're never alone, our coach is there to cheer us on
well, it's the wind-up,
here comes that ball,
You got a brilliant swing, watch it till, it's goin, goin, it's gone!
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, home run
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, i need a home run!
you know life can be like a baseball game,
We're on the same team, but were not all the same
That's why we've got to learn to play together
I didn't join this team to sit on the bench,
I'm goin deep, swingin for the fence
I got some friends on base, I gotta get home!
Gotta keep your eye on the ball
swing straight and through, and follow through
Don't be afraid, what-ever the call
Because we're never alone,
Our coach is there to cheer us on
Well it's the wind-up,
Here come's that ball,
You got a brilliant swing,
Watch it till it's goin goin, it's gone!
come on!
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, home run!
i want a home run
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, i want a home run!
We are not the first to play this game,
or stand over this plate
We are surrounded by the legacy
and the're sittin in the stands,
I see them wavin their hands
sayin, "go, go all the way!"
(umpire) it's goin, it's going it's going,
it's outta here! that baby is gone (gone)
Come on now,
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, home run
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, home run
are you ready? come on!
(different variation's may vary from this point on)
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, home run
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, home run
(repeat)
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, ohh, oh,
ho, ohho, i want a home run!
