When I Take the Field on Friday

[Verse 1]

See the line of bottoms bounce on every stirring play

That I will make when I face any foe

On Friday nights home or away

But thoughts of bottoms have to wait 'til post-game socialties

And then I'll ask the coach if it's okay

He'll just wink and walk away

[Chorus]

When I take the field on Friday

I'm gonna have it my way

I'm a Yankee in ecstasy

That so hard to be

Indeed that is so very hard to be

[Verse 2]

I'll beat the great, the new great too

And beat the in-between until there's no one left to beat

And then I'll beat 'em for a second time

When I'm forced to hit the turf

It's usually okay

I get the sympathetic silence, resurrected everyday

[Chorus]

When I take the field on Friday

I'm gonna have it my way

I'm a Yankee in ecstasy

That so hard to be

Indeed that is so very hard to be

[Bridge]

He's got a tin ear, got a tin ear

But it doesn't matter now

He hears the crowds

That's good enough

It's such a very lovely sound

[Verse 1]

See the line of bottom's bounce on every stirring play

That I will make when I face any foe

Friday nights home or away

But thoughts of bottoms have to wait 'til post-game socialties

And then I'll ask the coach if it's okay

He'll just wink and walk away

[Chorus]

When I take the field on Friday

I'm gonna have it my way

I'm a Yankee in ecstasy

That so hard to be

[Chorus]

When I take the field on Friday

I'm gonna have it my way

I'm a Yankee in ecstasy

That so hard to be

[Chorus]

When I take the field on Friday

I'm gonna have it my way...
