"Batting Average" by Weird Alan
swing swing batta swing swing batta batta
the team was trailing in the tenth inning today
I was waiting for my name for the coaches to say
when they called it
I got my nerve
I hit a home run when the pitcher threw a curve
now I know I'm only being used as a pinch hitter
that's ok if I win for my team
I know they should give more playing time to me
that's ok 'cause I've got a high batting average
(chorus)
ohhh yeah yeahh
yeahah yeaha
the team is trailing again tonight
but they didn't call out my name
all this rejections got me so low
If I keep staying a benchwarmer I just might tell them so
when the coach says I'm the heart of the team
then I wonder why only gives starting jobs to my friends
well I guess I should stick up for myself
but I really think it's beter this way
the more I hit game winning home runs
the more they'll really care? Right? yeah
(chorus)
Now I'll relate this little bit
it happens more than I'd like to admit
late one night they call out my name
they're down by two runs and looking to score
now I know I should say start me instead
but that's kinda hard when I always score the go-ahead run
I may be underappreciated
but im not a bad player
I'm just a benchwarmer with a high batting average
(chorus)
