Clark Gesner - T.E.A.M. / The Baseball Game lyrics

[CHARLIE BROWN] Gimme a "T"! [OTHERS] "T"! [CHARLIE BROWN] Gimme an "E"! [OTHERS] "E"! [CHARLIE BROWN] Gimme a "A"! [OTHERS] "A"! [CHARLIE BROWN] Gimme a "M"! [OTHERS] "M"! [CHARLIE BROWN] What d'ya got? [ALL] Team! (sung) There is no team like the best team Which is our team right here We will show you we're the best team In the very Little League this year And in no time, we'll be big time With the Big League baseball stars! For all we have to do is win just one more game And the championship is ours [CHARLIE BROWN] Dear Pen Pal,​ You'll never guess what happened today At the baseball game It's hard to believe, what happened today At the baseball game I was the manager, Schroeder was catcher And all of the team was the same—as always— But somehow or other disaster struck At the baseball game (spoken) Huddle up! [OTHERS] Break! (overlapping voices) Hey! You could—! Come on! Charlie Brown! Swing! Swing! Ohhhh... [LUCY] I got it! [LINUS] I got it! [SCHROEDER] I got it! [SNOOPY] Woof woof woof! [LUCY] Ahhh! [LUCY (to Charlie Brown)] I thought you had it [CHARLIE BROWN] Three balls, two strikes The bases were loaded, with two men out I pitched my curve, but somehow he hit it A good strong clout "Lucy," I hollered, "It's comin' right to you—" She caught it as easy as pie—then dropped it I don't think it's good for a team's morale To see their manager cry Snoopy helped out by biting a runner And catching the ball in his teeth; Linus caught flies from a third-story window By holding his blanket beneath Yes, we had fortitude No one could argue with that And one run would win us the game As I came up to bat [OTHERS] Go Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown— [ALL] There is no ​team ​like the best team Which is our team right here We will show you we're the best team In the very Little League this year And in no time ​We'll be big time With the Big League baseball stars! For all we have to do is win just one more game (Ours, ours, ours) [LUCY, spoken] All right, Charlie Brown, we're all behind you, sort of. I mean this kid can't pitch. He pitches like my grandmother, Charlie Brown. Now ​all you have to is bear down, just ​bear down. And when you get on first, watch me for my signals And the championship is ours [CHARLIE BROWN] Two men were on with two outs And me with one strike to go (One strike, one strike) Then I saw her—this cute little Red-headed girl I know Firmly I vowed I would win it for her And I shouldered my bat and I swung... [OTHERS gasp, then groan] [CHARLIE BROWN] Dear pen pal, I'm told where you live Is really quite far Would you please send directions On how I can get where you are? Your friend,​ Charlie Brown
