When I was a kid in the summer
I'd spend all my time playing
Softball was my favorite sport
'Cause I really loved the singing
There's a batter up in the bottom of the seventh
A one run lead in hand
I hit my glove and crouch down ready
Then I start the chant
Hey, batter, batter
Hey, batter, batter swing
Hey, batter, batter swing
Ooh ooh ooh
Hey, batter, batter
Hey, batter, batter swing
Hey, batter, batter swing
As I got older I started to date
I found the field crowded
I wasn't made for this hetero game
Soon I was outed
Then a real nice gal with the sweetest smile
Says, "You can join our team"
So I hit my glove and I crouch down ready
Then I start to scream
Hey, batter, batter
Hey, batter, batter swing
Hey, batter, batter swing
Ooh ooh ooh
One strike, two strikes, three strikes, ding
Hey, batter, batter swing
I love this team in more ways than one
They catch me when I fall
When I hit my glove and I crouch down ready
I can hear them call
I can hear them all
Hey, batter, batter
Hey, batter, batter swing
Hey, batter, batter swing
Ooh ooh ooh
Hey, batter, batter
Hey, batter, batter swing
Hey, batter, batter swing
One more time!
Hey, batter, batter
Hey, batter, batter swing
Hey, batter, batter swing
Ooh ooh ooh
One strike, two strikes, three strikes, ding
Hey, batter, batter swing
Hey, batter, batter swing
Hey, batter, batter
Hey, batter, batter swing
