The National Pastime Songtext

von SMASH Cast

Fellas

Yeah?

Fellas

Is it?

Hey team!

Hold the benches it's Marilyn!

I just got a date

She just got a date

With Baseball's Chilton Chate

The lucky so and so

So run me through the bases
Put me through my paces
And teach me all the things a slugger's lover to know
What's that there?

That's the pitchers mound

Have you ever seen a shape that is so perfectly round?

Batter up,
Play ball
You better give it your all, cuz' all men like to play at

The national pastime
Who's that there?

That's the first base coach

Have you noticed that he signals every time I approach?

Kill me out

Throw him out

Because there isn't a doubt that

All men like to play at

The national pastime
When I was just a little girl
I liked being dainty and pearly
But now that I've given sports a whirl,
I finally kind of like to get dirty

Baby what's that there?

That's the team bull pen
Kind of like the odds I'm seeing, no girls I'm there

Hit the deck look alive before the ladies run dry

Because my skills and my passion will elevate the national…

Peanuts!
Hot dogs!
Cracker Jack!
I don't care I don't care if I ever get back!

When the seasons over,
The play won't end

Cuz' a baseball diamond is a girl's best friend

Yes her style and her fashion will elevate the national pastime
