GIVE ME A HIT
Words and Music by Lou Del Bianco



Recess at school is great-
Lining up to pick your team mate
Trouble is the fact, I’m always picked last,
No one thinks that I can play
It’s not that I stink, I can play like a met,
It’s just that the team doesn’t know it yet
All they see, is the bat and me
Strike out, just bout, everyday (So I pray)

Refrain:

Give me a hit, one little smack
I wanna hear the crack of the bat
Do this for me, and I’ll pay ya back
Show the guys that I can play!

The reaction’s always the same
“He’s on our team? Aw, there goes the game!”
All they do, is hiss and boo-
Don’t they like me at all?
Now it’s my turn at the plate,
And the kids yell, “Run, before it’s too late!”
That’s cause everything I swing,
The bat goes farther than the ball

Refrain

The score is 5 runs to 3
2 men on base- and it’s all up to me
Oh I hate this weight, upon my head,
I wish I were home, under my bed
Completely clear out of sight
But somewhere deep down inside,
A voice cries out, “Stop trying to hide!”
Oh the pitcher throws as I brace back
And the kids, they boo, they scream, they laugh
But I think this is good, I think this is right
As I swing with all of my might (crack- homerun!)

I got a hit, oh, what a smack
I got to hear the crack of the bat
You did this for me, now I’ll pay ya back
Now the guys know I can play! (3x)
