Uncle Charlie Songtext
von The Baseball Project

You might think you′re the hottest thing
To walk into the box
Posted big numbers out in the sticks
Clever like a fox

You might be 6'10, you might weigh 296
Muscles for days, lighting speed wrists
Swinging the bat like matchsticks
Oh, look who got done in by the 9 to 5

Uncle Charlie is gonna get you
Uncle Charlie is gonna get you
Uncle Charlie is gonna send you down

Every kid thinks they′re the smartest guy
To walk on two hind legs
Every kid thinks they can take the codgers
Down by a few pegs


You might start quick, you might look sick
But what about July?
April flash don't equal cash when your good luck starts to dry
Oh, you don't look so pretty now

Uncle Charlie is gonna get you
Uncle Charlie is gonna get you
Uncle Charlie is gonna send you down

You think you can put the bat on the plate
And let the pitcher do the work
You might laugh out loud
When you make him go beserk

You don′t think you need to listen to what the other people say
But you′re riding high in April
You can be shot down in May
Oh, look who got done in by the 9 to 5

Uncle Charlie is gonna get you
Uncle Charlie is gonna get you
Uncle Charlie is gonna send you down
