Baseball Parodies

Words by Martha Michael & Jim Harris
+ + + (to the tune of "Que Sera Sera") + + +


WHEN I WAS JUST A LITTLE GIRL
I ASKED MY MOTHER HOW CAN THIS BE
WHY DO THE THE PHILLIES NEVER GO FAR
HERE'S WHAT SHE SAID TO ME

QUE SERA SERA
THAT’S JUST HOW THEY PLAY THE GAME
THE PHILLIES ARE ALWAYS LAME
QUE SERA SERA
WHAT WILL BE WILL BE


NOW IT’S THE YEAR TWO THOUSAND TEN
AND I AM WONDERING / WHAT WILL IT BRING
CHAMPIONSHIP BANNERS, VICTORY PARADES?
NOW IS THE TIME TO SING

(to the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game")
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BANK
THE EAGLES FELL SHORT AND THE SIXERS TANKED
but WE DON’T CARE
CAUSE THE PHILS ARE TOP RANKED


so it’s ROOT ROOT ROOT FOR THE HOME TEAM
JUST DO ONE THING FOR US PLEASE
MAKE IT ONE, TWO, three TRIPS IN A ROW TO THE
WORLD SER - IES

++++

(to the tune of "April Showers")
THE TIME FOR BASEBALL HAS COME AT LAST
THE LONG OFF-SEASON IS IN THE PAST.
AS FOR THE SERIES, HAVE NO REGRETS.
BECAUSE THE YANKEES CAN'T GET LUCKY TWICE,
AND THEY WILL GET THEIRS YET.

WHEN RYAN HOWARD STEPS TO THE PLATE,
THOSE YANKEE COWARDS WILL CURSE THEIR FATE.
SO LET’S ENJOY EACH DAY OF SUMMER
‘CAUSE NOTHING CAN GO WRONG
NOW THAT BASEBALL SEASON’S COME ALONG.
