Big League Hitter
Standing at the dish trying to put the game away
Somebody yelled just put the thing in play
I stepped out for time to think the whole thing through
It only took a second till I knew just what to do cause I'm a hitter
Knotted up in ten and I'm leading off again
Probably don't make sense but I'm swinging for the fence
I check out the stands the wave is just a ripple
Praying for a homer but I'm dying for a triple I'm a hitter
I'm a hitter
Yes I am a big-league hitter
I'm a hitter
Gonna be my day I'm gonna make a play I'm a hitter
Ball left his hand it was coming down the gut
I says to myself stay back and don't rush
I pick up the spin it's a spitter I reckon
If I don't try to kill it I'll be standing up at second I'm a hitter
Throat went dry a bug hit my eye
I felt light on my feet my heart skipped a beat
My arms swung around in an awkward sort of way
The ball hit the bat and gently flew away I'm a hitter
I'm a hitter
Yes I am a big-league hitter
I'm a hitter
Ain't no doubt about it I put something on it I'm a hitter
Took off for first for all I was worth
My hands sure tingle but it's looking like a single
My baby jumped and screamed what a technicolor dream
I'll smile if it's an error but I think it's dropping fair I'm a hitter
I'm a hitter
I'm a hitter
Yes I am a big-league hitter
I'm a hitter
You can see the chalk dust flying I put it on the line I'm a hitter
I'm a hitter
Yes I am a big-league hitter
Hey I'm a hitter
Gonna be my day I'm gonna make a play I'm a hitter
Somebody yelled just put the thing in play
I stepped out for time to think the whole thing through
It only took a second till I knew just what to do cause I'm a hitter
Knotted up in ten and I'm leading off again
Probably don't make sense but I'm swinging for the fence
I check out the stands the wave is just a ripple
Praying for a homer but I'm dying for a triple I'm a hitter
I'm a hitter
Yes I am a big-league hitter
I'm a hitter
Gonna be my day I'm gonna make a play I'm a hitter
Ball left his hand it was coming down the gut
I says to myself stay back and don't rush
I pick up the spin it's a spitter I reckon
If I don't try to kill it I'll be standing up at second I'm a hitter
Throat went dry a bug hit my eye
I felt light on my feet my heart skipped a beat
My arms swung around in an awkward sort of way
The ball hit the bat and gently flew away I'm a hitter
I'm a hitter
Yes I am a big-league hitter
I'm a hitter
Ain't no doubt about it I put something on it I'm a hitter
Took off for first for all I was worth
My hands sure tingle but it's looking like a single
My baby jumped and screamed what a technicolor dream
I'll smile if it's an error but I think it's dropping fair I'm a hitter
I'm a hitter
I'm a hitter
Yes I am a big-league hitter
I'm a hitter
You can see the chalk dust flying I put it on the line I'm a hitter
I'm a hitter
Yes I am a big-league hitter
Hey I'm a hitter
Gonna be my day I'm gonna make a play I'm a hitter
