Smash movie - The National Pastime lyrics

rate me

Marilyn:

Fellas

Team:

Yeah?

Marilyn:

Fellas

Team:

Is it?

Marilyn:

Hey team!

Team:

Hold the benches it’s Marilyn!

Marilyn:

I just got a date

Team:

She just got a date

Marilyn:

With Baseball’s Chilton Chate

Team:

The lucky so and so

Marilyn:

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?

Team:

That’s the pitchers mound

Marilyn:

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

Team:

Batter up,

Play ball

You better give it your all, cuz’ all men like to play at

Marilyn:

The national pastime

Who’s that there?

Team:

That’s the first base coach

Marilyn:

Have you noticed that he signals every time I approach?

Team:

kill me out

Marilyn:

Throw him out

Team:

Because there isn’t a doubt that

All:

All men like to play at

Marilyn:

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

Team:

Baby what’s that there?

Marilyn:

That’s the team bull pen

Kind of like the odds I’m seeing, no girls I’m there

Team:

Hit the deck look alive before the ladies run dry

Marilyn:

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!

Team:

When the seasons over,

The play won’t end

Marilyn:

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

Team:

Yes her style and her fashion will elevate the national pastime
