Right Field |
Saturday summers, when I was a kid |
We’d run to the schoolyard and here’s what we did |
We’d pick out the captains and we’d choose up the teams |
It was always a measure of my self esteem |
Cuz the fastest, the strongest, played shortstop and first |
The last ones they picked were the worst |
I never needed to ask, it was sealed |
I just took up my place in right field |
Playing… |
Right field, it’s easy, you know |
You can be awkward and you can be slow |
That’s why I’m here in right field |
Just watching the dandelions grow |
Playing right field can be lonely and dull |
Little Leagues never have lefties that pull |
I’d dream of the day they’d hit one my way |
They never did, but still I would pray |
That I’d make a fantastic catch on the run |
And not lose the ball in the sun |
And then I’d awake from this long reverie |
And pray that the ball never came out to me Here in… |
Right field, it’s easy, you know |
You can be awkward and you can be slow |
That’s why I’m here in right field |
Just watching the dandelions grow |
(whistle a variation of Take Me Out To The Ballgame…) |
Off in the distance, the game’s dragging on There’s strikes on the batter, some runners are on I don’t know the inning, I’ve forgotten the score |
The whole team is yelling and I don’t know what for |
Then suddenly everyone’s looking at me My mind has been wandering; |
what could it be? |
They point at the sky and I look up above |
And a baseball falls into my glove! |
Here in right field, it’s important you know |
You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw |
That’s why I’m here in Right Field, just watching the dandelions grow! |
