Megan Hilty - The National Pastime

Marilyn (New York Yankees)
Fellas! (Yeah?)
Fellas! (Is it--?)
Hey, team! (Off the benches, it's Marilyn!)

I just got a date (She just got a date)
With baseball's Joltin' Joe (That lucky so-and-so)
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?
(Kill the ump!) Throw him 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 giving 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 lady's line drive!)
Yes, my skill and my passion'll
Elevate the national...

Peanuts!
Hot dogs!
Crackerjack!
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, my style and my fashion'll (Yes, her style and her fashion'll)
Elevate the national
Pastime!
