“Sensational Catch”

Me and my bud when we were eight years old, played in little league.
We snuck out late one night tryin' to party.
But he forgot to bring the directions too, the girls place down by the lake.
So we decided the two of us, would make a break.

We agreed one would look out for the other,  as we knocked on Bobby's pane.
'Cuz he's the only boy we know who knows her name.
Luckily we had a hunch mom was on to us, so scurried back to my throne.
Jumped in our beds and turned the lights off, star dome.
Then she opened the door and smiled, welcome home.

It Was a Sin, It Was a Really Really Big Sin,
It Was a Sin o oh o, Sensational Catch.

As my friend and I grew older, we still played us some ball.
The girl by the lake got away so I drowned her with alcohol.
But my new found love was the big leagues, I've put in some overtime.
I've been on workin' on my craft, everyday has been a fine line.

I never thought I'd make it, my buddy never thought too,
but look at these duds pressed fresh and I'm battin' two.
My first game we lead by one, and the bottom of the ninth came up,
They had a man in position to score it was just my luck.
A liner was hit and I dove, and it stuck.

It Was a Sin, It Was a Really Really Big Sin,
It Was a Sin o oh o, Sensational Catch.
It Was a Sin o oh, It Was a Really Really Big Sin,
It Was a Sin o oh oo oh, Sensational Catch.

Solo:

My team mates we all lined the diamond, in the start of spring trainin' ball.
We stood on the mound said it was our call.
Then after we stood signin' autographs, for the kids who wait the wall.
Teach them to practice live true lifes, and do rubber stretchin' falls.

Had a big dream come true for me, my buddy saw from his eyes.
It was the top of the ninth in our front home skies.
The four hole hitter cracked a sound like a gun, The crowd thought it was gone.
But my began position made a situation,  and a stand stunned.
I brought back with my glove, a Home Run.

It Was a Sin, It Was a Really Really Big Sin,
It Was a Sin o oh o, Sensational Catch.
It Was a Sin o oh, It Was a Really Really Big Sin,
It Was a Sin o oh oo oh, Sensational Catch.
