Our players muddle through the game

from innings two through five.

With nothing chalked up in the sixth,

they haven't come alive.

But in the seventh, signs of life!

...Too bad it's not our team.

Their fearless flyer cruises home

and tramples on our dream.

We find a golden moment

in the middle of it all:

The batter swings, it's going foul—

we reach ... and catch the ball!

Ohh... hang me up in the rafters!

Hang me up by the toes!

Buy me some beenuts and Cricket Jock—

"Get it going! Throw a strike!"

We flap and howl and frown.

The seventh-inning stretch arrives

at last, to cool us down.

We shake our feet and raise our wings.

In voices high and strong,

together, all the fans belt out

the famous bat-ball song.
