Mabel Scott - Baseball Boogie Lyrics

If I pitch, can you catch?
Will you hold the ball?
When you step to the plate
Will you swing and fall?
If you play, you gotta know how it's done
Can you catch, can you hold a hot one?

I mean, baby, do you know the game?
I mean, baby, do you know the game?
I'm a big-league pitcher
Can you catch the hairline swing?
Can you hit the ball that's thrown to you?
Southpaw, can you hit the ball right through to you

Well, get your bat ready, baby
Let's see what you can do
Do you, baby, know what it's all about?
Do you, baby, know what it's all about?
I need a pinch hitter
'Cause my last man just fanned out

So get your bat ready, baby
Get your bat ready, baby
Get your bat ready, baby
Get your bat ready, baby
Get your bat ready, baby
Let's have some fun
If you hit that ball, you can make a home run
Play ball!

Oh, I've got a job that'll make you swing down low
I've got a job that'll make you swing down low
You can pick it up, baby
That means your stroke's too slow
When I wind up, I'm pitchin' my all to you
When I wind up, I'm pitchin' my all to you
So get your bat ready, baby
Let's see what you can do

Get your bat ready, baby
Get your bat ready, baby
Get your bat ready, baby
Get your bat ready, baby
Get your bat ready, baby
Let's have some fun
If you hit that ball, you can make a home run
