Coach just put me
in the outfield.
Do I even need to mention
it's my job to
catch the ball and
more important, PAY ATTENTION
to the pitcher or the batter
is it the former or the latter?
Does it even really matter
when there are dandelions growing on the fence
and there's cotton candy clouds that look like elephants
and that squirrel up in the tree, he's looking down at me
then back up at the sky?
Is it a bird or a plane?
Should I pray for some rain
or hope that it's just a helicopter?
Suddenly I'm seized by a horrible disease!
Someone please, someone please
call my family doctor!
'cause it's a pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop / pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop /
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop - POP FLY!, POP FLY!
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop / pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop /
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop - POP FLY!, POP FLY!
POP! POP! POP! POP!
Oh, it's nothing
I'm feelin' better
thought it was round and made of leather?
I could really use a snow cone.
Hope my baseball
cover isn't blown.
We're in the sixth or seventh inning.
I don't know if
we're even winning,
if it's over or just beginning
when there are weeping willow trees outside the shady stadium
and there's giant bumble bees collecting
honey for their homes
and that squirrel up in the tree, he's looking down at me
then back up at the sky?
Is it a bird or a plane?
Should I pray for some rain
or hope that it's just a helicopter?
Suddenly I'm seized by a horrible disease!
Someone please, someone please
call my family doctor!
'cause it's a pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop / pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop /
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop - POP FLY!, POP FLY!
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop / pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop /
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop - POP FLY!, POP FLY!
POP! POP! POP! POP! Fly!
I would rather die
anywhere but here
underneath this ball
as it falls
I'm all alone here,
in the outfield
do I even need to mention....
that I CAUGHT the
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop / pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop /
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop - POP FLY!, POP FLY!
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop / pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop /
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop - POP FLY!, POP FLY!
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop / pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop /
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop - POP FLY!, POP FLY!
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop / pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop /
pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop - POP FLY!, POP FLY!
POP! POP! POP! POP! - POP! POP! FLY!
