featuring The Beanstalk Library and Rachel Levitin

lyrics

If you ask me to take a trip back in time
to a simpler time in my life
when the only thing that I feared
was a swing and a miss

Find me sitting by the dugout, first base side
cheering the Nationals
buy me some peanuts and a half smoke
every time and throw in some Dippin' Dots
at the Ballpark

Terry talked about baseball back in the day
the guys like Mantle and Mays
then there's Van Lingle Mungo, courtesy Dave
I guess that name was his fave
John runs out to play center field, My Oh My!

Find me...

This could be the year that Teddy wins again

Jayson, provin' his worth, hittin' dingers even when he broke his wrist divin' down in the dirt
Zimmerman with the plan on the first base bag
and his eye on the ball always ready to tag
Strasburg, record breakin' fourteen K's,
sat 'em down in short order on his very first day
then Bryce, beaned, didn't get mean, just stole home plate
takin' one for the team!

If you ask me to tell you about Arthur Gorman
the president of this club back in 1867, he got a lot done
took his team on the first tour of the nation to play other clubs
so the newspapers joined on the train
and they wrote about the victories
they went 9 and 1

Find me...
