📜 Lyrics

I remember when the boys told me
You play like a girl
It's a matter of genetic history
You play like a girl
You can't be in our band
You don't play like a man
But there's one thing you can do
Teach us to play like you

Now all over this big wide world
I play like a girl
From the California lights
To the Serengeti nights
I play like a girl

When I was ten years old
I was told
You can't play baseball
You gotta pitch it underhand
You can't throw it like a man
You won't be any good at all
Girls don't know how to have fun
Girls won't last in the long run
Girls give birth and stuff but
They're not really tough enough

Now all over this big wide world
I play like a girl
From the California lights
To the Serengeti nights
I play like a girl

I don't wanna be Elvis
Or Mickey Mantle or Babe
'Cause this isn't a contest
I just want to make some music
Have a good time while I do it

I don't need permission
To change this tradition
When they tell me you can't play
Well, I just turn my back and say

Now all over this big wide world
I play like a girl
From the California lights
To the Serengeti nights
I play like a girl
I play like a girl
I play like a girl
