2nd Inning : Play Ball

Well it started for me in '73
Growin' up with The Big Red Machine
Joe, Johnny, Tony and The Hit King
Sparky in the dugout running the team
In 1990 we were making noise
Wire to wire with The Nasty Boys
Barry, Jose and Eric D
Makin' their place in history

The names have changed (but the game's the same)
So grab your glove and lets Play Ball!

Everybody's comin' downtown to watch 'em play (America's pastime)
Everybody's comin' downtown just to say
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Everybody's comin' downtown to watch 'em play (America's pastime)
At Great American Ballpark

Yea, Yea, Yea, c'mon
Yea, Yea, Yea

Here ah now we've got Adam Dunn
Crushin' fastballs, driving in the runs
Six foot six with a killer swing
Hittin' home runs like it ain't no thing
And if by chance the pitcher didn't learn
Waiting on deck is Austin Kearns
Better not hang that high curve ball
You just might find it goin' over the wall

The names have changed (but the game's the same)
So call your friends and tell them all!

Everybody's comin' downtown to watch 'em play (America's pastime)
Everybody's comin' downtown just to say
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Everybody's comin' downtown to watch 'em play (America's pastime)
At Great American Ballpark
At Great American Ballpark

There's a whole new game in town
Every one's invited down
'Cause where one generation ends
There's a new one about to begin
