By John Jacobson and John Higgins
Melody 1
Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys,
It’s time to get ready to make some noise!
Baseball season’s about to begin,
So come on along and you can join in!
Melody 2
Take me out to the ballgame.
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack!
I don’t care if I never get back.
(Ending)
The old ballgame! Play ball!
Verse 1
Hey, batter, batter, we’re gonna chatter.
You’re gonna bat in the game.
Swing, batter, batter. Fact of the matter,
You’ll climb the ladder of fame!
Verse 1
From the pitcher’s mound, you’re on the high
ground.
You’re checkin’ the sign, blockin’ out all the Fiona: (optional rap solo)
sound. Blockin’ out the nerves, and blockin’ out
Make the batter wait, keep it over the plate. the chatter,
Gotta concentrate to make it great! I’ll focus like a laser on the batter that
matters.
Refrain I’ll get into the zone, and I’ll show ‘em
And if you wanna get it done, my stuff.
You gotta get into the Strike Zone! If you’re gonna be a pitcher,
The Strike Zone!
And if you wanna be the one, All: THEN YOU GOTTA BE TOUGH!
Step up and get into the Strike Zone!
The Strike Zone! Refrain
And if you wanna get it done,
Verse 2 You gotta get into the Strike Zone!
Pitch it fast and high, and give ‘em a scare. The Strike Zone!
You make ‘em afraid of your menacing glare. And if you wanna be the one,
It’s a mighty quest, but you’re up to the test. Step up and get into the Strike Zone!
There’s no time to rest if you’re the best! The Strike Zone!
Verse 1
Hey, look at me now! I’m caught in a pickle,
And I just don’t know what to do.
Should I go left? Should I go right?
I gotta keep movin’. Well, wouldn’t you, too?
Verse 2
I’d run over here, and run over there, now.
It’s back and forth we go, go, go!
I might try a fakeout. It might help me breakout,
But which way, I don’t know, know, know!
It’s really hard to know!
Refrain
If you’re in a pickle, like I’m in a pickle,
You could go crazy thinkin’ “What should I do?”
It’s worse than a tickle to be in a pickle,
Like anything you do … could be the end of you!
Refrain 2
If you’re in a pickle, like I’m in a pickle,
You could go crazy thinkin’ “What should I do?”
It’s worse than a tickle to be in a pickle,
But if you do your best, it might turn out great for you!
Verse 1
For each of us, a time to shine.
I’ll be your fan, and you’ll be mine.
One thing is clear, that no matter who we are,
We all deserve a chance to be a star.
Refrain
We’re All Stars, All Stars,
Lighting up the galaxy!
All Stars, All Stars,
Shining so bright for the world to see!
Verse 2
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
But how you act, you get to choose.
The brightest star is the one who always tries,
And always keeps their eyes on the true prize.
Refrain
We’re All Stars, All Stars,
Lighting up the galaxy!
All Stars, All Stars,
Shining so bright for the world to see!
Bridge
We’re in this game together,
All chasing a dream.
And all for one together,
We’re all part of a team.
Refrain
We’re All Stars, All Stars,
Lighting up the galaxy!
All Stars, All Stars,
Shining so bright for the world to see!
