The Tennis Song |
You seem at home on the court |
Let’s say that I’ve played around |
Well you don’t look like the sort |
My hidden talents abound |
A competitor hasn’t been found to defeat me |
I’ll bet you’re a real good sport |
Shall we say the ball is in your court |
I’ll bet you like to play rough |
I like to work up a sweat |
And you just can’t get enough |
I’m good for more than one set |
But I promise I’ll show no regret if you beat me |
My backhand is clearly my forte |
Shall we say the ball is in your court |
No one ever plays with me |
I thought your next of kin did |
My husband never plays with me |
He’s too easily winded |
You leave me breathless too |
Wait till our match is through |
I may lack form and finesse |
But I warm up in a jiff |
It’s not exciting unless |
The competition is stiff |
I think I understand your racket |
I’m not in your league |
But you can hack it |
This game commences with love |
Well I think love is a bore |
Let’s give the tempo a shove |
And raise the stakes a bit more |
One thing I’m positive of |
It’s time for someone to score |
Tell me how you like to play |
On grass or clay and ev’ry day |
They’re both okay but time is running short |
Darling, let’s don’t dilly dally |
Ready for a rousing rally |
Shall we say the ball is in your court |
Shall we say the ball is in your court |
