Waiting for the Ball

I’ve been waiting for the ball but it never comes my way
I’ve been here in right field since last Saturday
Oh, oh, oh it never comes my way
They’re hitting doubles and triples and lots of home runs
Getting tired of waiting out in the sun
Oh, oh, oh it never comes my way

I’d like a glass of water or even lemonade
I’d like to take a nap lying in the shade
Instead I’m standing here watching grass grow
Picking dandelions, staring at my toes

I’ve been waiting for the ball but it never comes my way
I’m getting old and tired, my hair’s turning gray
Oh, oh, oh it never comes my way
Line drives to left field, nothing to right
I should have brought a pillow, I’ll be here all night
Oh, oh, oh it never comes my way

Esperando la pelota todo él día
Estoy aburrido ay caramba Mamá Mía
Oh, oh, oh it never comes my way
