Lyrics The Baseball Game - Falsettos 2016 Broadway Company

Proud of you!
We're sitting
And watching Jason play baseball
We're watching Jason play baseball
We're watching Jewish boys
Who cannot play baseball
Play baseball
We're watching Jewish boys
Who cannot play baseball
Play

I hate baseball
I really do
Unlike the rest of you
I hate baseball
We really wish he'd take this more seriously

It's weird how he swings the bat
It's weird how he swings the bat
And why does he have to throw like that?

We're sitting
And watching Jason make errors
The most pathetical errors
We're watching jewish boys
Who almost read latin
Up battin' and battin' bad

Remember Sandy Koufax
You can do it
If you wanna do it
Take heart from Hank Greenberg
It's not genetic
Even you can be copacetic
I think, I think
I think you can
I think you can

We're sitting
And watching Jason play baseball
We're watching Jason play baseball
We're watching Jewish boys
We're watching Jewish boys
We're watching...
Slide, Jason!
Slide, Jason!
Slide...

What is he doing here?
What are you doing here?
Jason asked me to come
Since he asked me to come I came

Just what I wanted at a little league game
My ex-husband's ex-lover
Isn't that what every mother dreams about having at a little league game?

Looking at Whizzer is like eating trayf

The kid was out!
The kid was safe!
The kid was out!
The kid was safe...
Baby let's focus on the...

Hey!
I love baseball
I love Jason
That's what I'm doing here

Hey!
Where the hell they get that umpire?
Oops, sorry, sorry

Look who's here
Say hello

Hello

You're looking sweeter than a donut

Marvin

Whizzer

Is he still queer?
Am I queer?
I don't know
Does it matter?
It's been so long since I could tell

Sit in front of me
I wanna see the baldspot
Come on, come on
Move in front of me
It gives me pleasure to see the baldspot
Since it's the only physical imperfection that you've got
I wanna see it
I wanna touch it
I wanna run my hands through it

We're sitting
And watch the kid as he misses
We're watching Marving throw kisses
We're watching sixty seven pounders
Watching jewish boys miss grounders
Watching boy field, boys bat
Boys miss, boys bat
Watching Jason on deck
Swinging the bat

Here we go honey!

Hey, Jason!
Oh, hi, Whizzer
Glad you came

Keep your head in the box
Don't think of a thing
Keep your head in the box
Your eye on the ball
Take a breath then let it out
And swing

Woo-woo!
That's what I'm talking about
See, that's how's supposed to look

Keep your head in the box
Don't think of a thing
Keep your head in the box
Your eye on the ball
Take a breath then let it out
And swing

Ok, go get 'em
Thanks Whizzer

Even bald he looks good
Just remember he's psychotic
He looks damn good
But he's cheap as dirt
Even maniacs can charm
Which he does
So beware
And just be careful
When he smiles that smile
Avoid him
Or else sound the alert

Whizzer?
Marvin?
Do you think there's any hope for the kid?
I love Jason
But this is not his venue
How could I know without him
My life would be boring as shit

Batter up!
Jason!
You got this buddy
Jason, you gotta step a little closer to the plate
Next to it
Yes it is
Get in there
He's gonna get hit by the ball
Please, God
Don't let me make the same mistakes

We're sitting
And watching Jason, the batter
We know our cheering won't matter
It is the very final inning
And the other team is winning
And there's two outs
Two strikes
But the bases are loaded
And...

Would it be possible
To see you, or to kiss you
Or to give you a call?

Anything's possible
Jason hit the ball
Run!
