Click goes the bat



Click goes the bouncy bat
There we go reel in the slack
Fast as you can

You will be the man
The dirt is mirror
Of who you want to be

But you don”t show the glee
The glee to see
It's just a game

You do it for the fame
Or say it's lame
You have to enjoy the game

For what it is,
It finds a way to show
It is not the blow

It is the lame game
That gives people the fame
So reel in that slack

Just watch your back
Trust who you can  
Don’t be to big of a fan

Your heart will soon break
Just as the winter icy lake
You soon realize the joy was all fake

Just imagine a sunny day
Dad just got done working with the hay
You smell the the bright sunny day

You get ready, are you steady?
You go and go till you can’t
This is fun again again

The fun comes to an end
The fun is done and so are you
It doesn’t feel the same like it should

The bat still goes click
as the glove pops
It will never be the same

This isn’t a fair game
It was never my intention
To let it get this far

When I compare myself it’s not the same
I look in the mirror and say this is lame
What happened to the game

Click click goes the bag
Click click pops the glove
The fun flew away like a dove

The love for the game is gone
I loved it so much
I just wish we could’ve stayed in touch

So there it goes again
Don’t let it go to fast
No matter what the bat still goes click click
