A few words from the Alleged Artist:
I played baseball in high school. Scratch that. I dressed up in a baseball uniform, donned a glove, and sat on various benches in the north suburban Denver metropolitan area in high school. Apparently convinced that my dorkiness would scare the other team into playing better, my coaches rarely unglued my rear end from the bench, although I did go something like 3 for 5 one season, so who's your daddy? My senior year, I got to play a half an inning, at the very end of the very last game. Thank God the coach didn't play me more, or we might not have won those two games we won the entire season. Anyway, the point to all this is that I am in prime position to start for the Colorado Rockies.

take me out of the ballgame

it's the bottom of the eighteenth inning
they can't seem to win the game
there's bottles of beer flying through the air
i'm so gall-dang glad that i came
this game has been delayed forty-two times
by hail, sleet, twisters and rain
and the fat women's choir from walla walla
is really becoming a pain
in the butt

take me out of the ballgame
take me out of the park
'cause that's one, two, going on three games they've played
and no one's won

i've eaten three thousand hot dogs
i think i'm ready to barf
and it's twelve at night and this park don't have lights
and it's getting kind of dark
what started out as a day game
has turned into a black nightmare
the pitcher is standing on second base
and there's broken bats flying everywhere

take me out of the ballgame
take me out of this town
'cause that's one, two, three times i've been pelted
by a foul ball

hey you, yeah you, that's right
would you happen to know the score
i've been so busy warding off beer spitwads
i don't even know who's playing anymore
hey wait, i think someone got a hit
i heard a crack, whoa, look out
another foul ball
i really wonder if we'll get started
on the second game of this doubleheader

take me out of the ballgame
get me out of this living hell
my deodorant's wearing off, and so's everyone else's
oh, p.u.
