Pop Fly

Coach has put me in the outfield
Do I even need to mention
It's my job to catch the ball and
More important pay attention

To the pitcher or the batter
Is it the former or the latter
Does it even really matter?
When there are dandelions grown along the fence
And there's cotton candy clouds that look like elephants

And that squirrel up in the tree
Is looking down and me and back up at the sky

Is it a bird or a plane?
Should I pray for some rain?
Or I hope that it's just a helicopter
Suddenly, I'm seized by a horrible disease
Someone please, someone please, someone please, call my family doctor

'Cause it's a
Pop, pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop fly! Pop fly!

Pop, pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop fly! Pop fly!
(Pop-pop-pop-pop!)

Oh, it's nothing, I'm feeling better
Thought it was round and made of leather
I could really use a snow cone
Hope my baseball cover isn't blown
We're in the sixth or seventh inning
I don't know if we're even winning
If it's over or just beginning?

When there are weeping willow trees outside the shady stadium
And there's giant bumblebees collecting honey for their homes

And that squirrel up in the tree
Is looking down at me and back up at the sky

Is it a bird or a plane?
Should I pray for some rain?
Or I hope that it's just a helicopter
Suddenly I'm seized by a horrible disease
Someone please, someone please call my family doctor

'Cause it's a
Pop, pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop fly! Pop fly

Pop, pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop fly! Pop fly!
(Pop-pop-pop-pop!)

Fly, I would rather lie
Anywhere but here (anywhere but here)
Underneath this ball as it falls
I'm all alone here in the outfield
Do I even need to mention?

That I caught the
Pop, pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
