Not Half Bad

[Verse 1]
Here I am a Machine
Like a fish up a tree
Who’d expect season 12
To be traded for Mindy

Now it’s just like the pods
And against all the odds
I got a bat in my feeder
And a will to fight gods

[Bridge]
So here I go I shoot the bat
Directly at the ball
As I think about first base
I feel like I'm starting to stall

The opposition is firm
But then I hear from the crowd:
"Oh, Worm?"

[Chorus]
I know my new team believes in me
I'll try my best to be their batting machine
And strangely it turns out to be
I'm really not half bad

[Verse 2]
Now I'm in the dugout
Composting self doubt
And I'm learning to sign
So Vess isn't left out

I turn on everyday
Feeling ready to play
And I'm learning the difference
Between silt and clay

[Bridge]
So here I go I shoot the bat
Directly at the ball
And I try to writhe towards first base
But it doesn't work at all

The loam beneath me turn firm
And I hear them shout: "Oh, Worm?"

[Chorus]
I know my new team believes in me
I'll try my best to be their batting machine
And as it strangely turns out to be
I'm really not half bad

[Verse 3]
Now I find I'm swept away
I wait elsewhere for 20 days
The noise I make is now in my name
And somehow an acne breakout on my front face plate

[Chorus/Outro; Pitching Machine, (backing vocals)]
I know my new team believes in me (There’s Muddy rock and Syenite)
I'll try my best to be their batting machine (There’s shaly shale and Laterite)
And as it strangely turns out to be (There’s loamy sand and sandy loam)
I'm really not half bad (We call each of these things our home)

I know my new team believes in me (There's clay and silt and quartzolite)
I'll try my best to be their batting machine (And Greisen, sand and diorite)
And as it strangely turns out to be (There’s ultra gravel and tephrite)
I'm really not half bad (And spectrum sand and monzonite)

Oh, Worm!
