Hallelujah
At long last, the quest has come to an end. After wishing and hoping and searching for months, I finally have the full and complete “Play Ball” song in my hands and on my iPod. And everyone can thank Ian for tracking it down.
So without further ado… THE FULL VERSION!

“Play Ball” by J. Bristol
lyrics transcribed by Center Field
I’ve been waiting all day for the baseball game to come on
I’m in my easy chair, I got my old team colors on
I got my baseball cap, and my remote control
An extra-large pizza and I’m ready to roll
CHORUS
Play ball!
I just want to play
Whatever the inning
Whoever is winning
It’s all the same
Play ball!
I just want to say
Whatever the season
Whatever the reason
I love that game
Well it’s a Sunday morning in the park at the edge of town
Me and the boys are just tossing the ball around
Well a friend brings a bat, and as strange as it seems
In no time flat we got a couple of teams
Play ball!
I just want to play
Whatever the inning
Whoever is winning
It’s all the same
Play ball!
I just want to say
Whatever the season
Whatever the reason
I love that game
Now I could play ball
For anybody
If I’m inclined
Because it’s just call
For everybody
To have a good time
I guess you could say I’m the world’s biggest baseball fan
And if I had my way, I’d just spend my life in the stands
So you don’t forget, the plain truth is
Life doesn’t get any better than this
Play ball!
I just want to play
Whatever the inning
Whoever is winning
It’s all the same
Play ball!
I just want to say
Whatever the season
Whatever the reason
I love that game
[instrumental break]
Play ball!
I just want to play
Whatever the inning
Whoever is winning
It’s all the same
Play ball!
I just want to say
Whatever the season
Whatever the reason
It’s America’s game
