[Chorus] Swing, out of your shoes And if you should lose this time Keep on swinging and swinging and soon When you connect With all of your strength Look up and you might see a dent in the moon [Verse 1] Yeah, you see them craters? That was cause a kid said thered be none greater In ten years Hammering Hank was at the plate launching balls into space saying see ya later Skinny as a toothpick but he got a knack Watch him swing a broomstick at a bottlecap Watch him rinse and repeat till hes on the map Going from the cheap seats to the autographs Papa put a bat in my hand and all he said was never ever, ever, ever rock a Dodger hat And whether you win or you didnt you gotta be getting dirty And we better send your jersey to the laundromat It was in the cards I knew someday Id be a big league star Playing second base for the Giants wearing number 9 rocking kneehigh socks If I just worked hard [Chorus] Swing, out of your shoes And if you should lose this time Keep on swinging and swinging and soon When you connect With all of your strength Look up and you might see a dent in the moon [Verse 2] We had our 6th grade baseball tryouts on the basketball courts So a fastballhad hops We didnt have a grass field and so coach hit us grounders Off the asphaltI dropped A lot and so he hit em faster and I took em off my ankles Yelling thats all you got? And when I saw my name on the roster I went insane Like I was sniffing bath salts, Im nothere to play soft Ill go beastmode on a piata and bite its motherfucking face off Until it rains candy out of its neckhole I dont go flexing my pecs, or get swole I wasnt the fastest And when I moved it kinda looked like I was running through molassestrue Its silly to give a shit about a game but earth Is a little ball thats spinning on its axistoo [Chorus] Swing, out of your shoes And if you should lose this time Keep on swinging and swinging and soon When you connect With all of your strength Look up and you might see a dent in the moon [Verse 3] I wasnt cut out for the bigs, guess I been a fool And middle school was just a bit of cruel ridicule But when you step into the ranks of the man Its like they push you from the high dive to the kiddie pool thanks Its time to ballroom waltz that plank Were little minnows in a small shark tank You try to swim without getting blood in the water But youre all heart and guts like a ballpark frank Never an allstar I had to keep score If I were perfect I would quit and join the Peace Corps Im not a hero, if I didnt try my doubts eat at me Like Im a carcass on the sea floor So say this shit is too corny It tastes better to me than, ooh poor me Im just trying to sing a different tune And then fit into a world that didnt have room for me [Chorus] Swing, out of your shoes And if you should lose this time Keep on swinging and swinging and soon When you connect With all of your strength Look up and you might see a dent in the moon Swing, out of your shoes And if you should lose this time Keep on swinging and swinging and soon When you connect With all of your strength Look up and you might see a dent in the moon
