Standing at the dish trying to put the game away Somebody yelled just put the thing in play I stepped out for time to think the whole thing through It only took a second till I knew just what to do cause I'm a hitter Knotted up in ten and I'm leading off again Probably don't make sense but I'm swinging for the fence I check out the stands the wave is just a ripple Praying for a homer but I'm dying for a triple I'm a hitter I'm a hitter Yes I am a big-league hitter I'm a hitter Gonna be my day I'm gonna make a play I'm a hitter Ball left his hand it was coming down the gut I says to myself stay back and don't rush I pick up the spin it's a spitter I reckon If I don't try to kill it I'll be standing up at second I'm a hitter Throat went dry a bug hit my eye I felt light on my feet my heart skipped a beat My arms swung around in an awkward sort of way The ball hit the bat and gently flew away I'm a hitter I'm a hitter Yes I am a big-league hitter I'm a hitter Ain't no doubt about it I put something on it I'm a hitter Took off for first for all I was worth My hands sure tingle but it's looking like a single My baby jumped and screamed what a technicolor dream I'll smile if it's an error but I think it's dropping fair I'm a hitter I'm a hitter I'm a hitter Yes I am a big-league hitter I'm a hitter You can see the chalk dust flying I put it on the line I'm a hitter I'm a hitter Yes I am a big-league hitter Hey I'm a hitter Gonna be my day I'm gonna make a play I'm a hitter
