The national pastime

Fellas!
(yeah?)
Fellas!
(is it?)
Hey team!
(off the benches, it's marylin!)
I just got a date
(she just got a date)
With baseball's jumping show
So run me round the bases, put me through my paces
And teach me all the things a slugger's lover should know

What's that there?
(that's the pitcher's mound)
Have you ever seen a shape that is so perfectly round?
(batter up!)
Play ball!
(you better give it your all)
Cause all men like to play at
The national pastime

Who's that man?
(that's the first base coach)
Have you noticed that he signals every time i approach?
(call the ump!)
Throw 'em out!
(because there isn't a doubt that)
All men like to play at
The national pastime

When i was just a little girl i liked being dainty and purty
But now that i'm givin' sports a whirl
I find i kinda like to get dirty
(yeah!)

(baby, what's that there?)
That's the team bullpen
And i like the odds i'm seeing
No girls, all men!
(hit the deck, look alive!
Beware the ladies like drive)
Yes my skill and my passion 'll elevate the national...

Peanuts!
Hot dogs!
Cracker jacks!
I don't care, i don't care if i ever get back!

(when the season's over, the play won't end)
'cause a baseball diamond is a girl's best friend
Yes the style and the fashion 'll elevate the national
Pastime!
