A Song for Today

(To be sung to the tune of "Home on the Range")
Oh, give me a bat
A ball and a cap
A glove and an infielder’s sack
I’m yearning to hear
That sound so dear
When leather meets wood with a crack!
Home, home runs I adore
It’s baseball I’m longing to play
Where seldom is heard
The discouraging word
Of “football” on Super Bowl Day.
Oh, tailgating’s crap
I’d prefer a good nap
To all the scrimmaging they do
The ball’s meant to fly
Across the blue sky
To a kid who’s screaming “Yahoo!”
Home, home runs I adore
Double plays and no hitters too
When baseball’s the game
And old PEBA’s the name
Who needs Super Bowl’s hullabaloo?
Oh, give me a bat
A ball and a cap
A glove and an infielder’s sack
I’m yearning to hear
That sound so dear
When leather meets wood with a crack!
Home, home runs I adore
It’s baseball I’m longing to play
Where seldom is heard
The discouraging word
Of “football” on Super Bowl Day.
Oh, tailgating’s crap
I’d prefer a good nap
To all the scrimmaging they do
The ball’s meant to fly
Across the blue sky
To a kid who’s screaming “Yahoo!”
Home, home runs I adore
Double plays and no hitters too
When baseball’s the game
And old PEBA’s the name
Who needs Super Bowl’s hullabaloo?
