BOTTOM OF THE NINTH
(Hali Hammer)

Hey there, Blondie, I think you’re cute
I like the way you move, you know that it’s the truth
I like to watch you strut your stuff
But looking at you’s gonna have to be enough
Cause I got me a lover who’s oh so sweet and kind
And a man you know is always there is oh so hard to find
And if I slip one more time he’ll just tell me, “Take a hike!”
Cause it’s three strikes you’re out and I’m at the Bottom of the 9th
Bottom of the 9th, Bottom of the 9th, Bottom of the 9th, Bottom of the 9th

Hey there, green eyes, I think you’re fine
I’d like to sit with you and share my glass of wine
I see you smiling, you seem so nice
And if I’d stick around we’d go to Paradise
But a bird that’s in the hand is worth two in the bush
I’m not feeling suicidal, I won’t be the one to push
So I’ll sit here by myself, I ain’t telling you no bull
Cause the bases are loaded and you know the count is full
Bottom of the 9th, Bottom of the 9th, Bottom of the 9th, Bottom of the 9th

Now you might say what is the harm in just one little kiss
But if it’s not experienced, it’s nothing that I’ll miss
But once I turn it on, I can’t just turn it back
It’s like traveling in a racing train and falling off the track
Bottom of the 9th, Bottom of the 9th, Bottom of the 9th, Bottom of the 9th

You with the dark hair, I think you’re neat
I’d like to take a walk with you down Easy Street
You look like fun, and you like to dance
I’d spend some time with you if I wished to take a chance
But I’m not into gambling, throwing what I’ve got away
So I’ll just save my thoughts of you up for a rainy day
Think I’ll go back to my house, make it there in a straight line
Cause it’s three strikes you’re out, and I’m at the Bottom of the 9th
Bottom of the 9th, Bottom of the 9th, Bottom of the 9th, Bottom of the 9th
Go ‘way, sweet thing Bottom of the 9th
Gotta watch my swing’! Bottom of the 9th
