The Lyrics
Anyone notice it costs 10 times as much to buy something at a sporting event?
It's all so lame, only the grease has changed
Every game, it seems it costs more to pay
Another stand, where the hot dogs are so cold
I search all night, for where warm ones are sold
At the ballgame, I spend six ninety five
I wanted, expensive fries
Wanted, expensive fries
I wait in line, sometimes it seems for days
The people in front, can't decide just what they crave
Sometimes I tell the clerk
I just want to get a Coke
I waited in that line, just to find the tap is broke
At the ballgame, I spend six ninety five
I wanted, expensive fries
Wanted, expensive fries
Hot fries!
Oooh, At the ballgame, I spend six ninety five
I wanted, expensive fries
I walk these ramps
A loaded six-pack on my back
Won't buy game beer, or I can't afford a snack
I've missed half the game, still I'm standing tall
Had to wait for half-an hour, just to use the stall!
At the ballgame, I spend six ninety five
I wanted, expensive fries
At the ballgame, I spend six ninety five
I wanted, expensive fries
Wanted, expensive fries
Every game, it seems it costs more to pay
Another stand, where the hot dogs are so cold
I search all night, for where warm ones are sold
At the ballgame, I spend six ninety five
I wanted, expensive fries
Wanted, expensive fries
I wait in line, sometimes it seems for days
The people in front, can't decide just what they crave
Sometimes I tell the clerk
I just want to get a Coke
I waited in that line, just to find the tap is broke
At the ballgame, I spend six ninety five
I wanted, expensive fries
Wanted, expensive fries
Hot fries!
Oooh, At the ballgame, I spend six ninety five
I wanted, expensive fries
I walk these ramps
A loaded six-pack on my back
Won't buy game beer, or I can't afford a snack
I've missed half the game, still I'm standing tall
Had to wait for half-an hour, just to use the stall!
At the ballgame, I spend six ninety five
I wanted, expensive fries
At the ballgame, I spend six ninety five
I wanted, expensive fries
Wanted, expensive fries

Here's 5-times-the-grease for yer fries, matey !
Yes, this is why people started tail gate parties. Good song!
Great job, Jeff!
Fifties! Wait. I mean, fives.
Thanks Aussie, Melhi, Diva, and Johnny D!
Another hilarious one! I laughed very hard on this one! Straight fives! No wonder you, Weird Al, and Bob Rivers are my two biggest inspirations!
Wow, I'm inspiring? And I thought I was just perspiring! Thanks for the compliment, Chris!
This was good. Making up for those ones someone gave you.
Who gave me ones? I see some 4s and 5s here, but no ones...
My mistake. I can't read the stupid chart. you deserved anyway.
Mmmm... Esskay hot dogs at Memorial Stadium, $1.50... Whaddaya mean four bucks at Camden Yards?
4 bucks for the cheap ones. $5 for the "Super Dogs". Probably go to six now that we signed Tejada.
you've got it goin on! Great Song ... things are very expensive at ballgames ... wow.
Just browsing through some old stuff, Jeff...this is great!!
Wait -- they actually change the fry grease at your stadium? Impressive. DKTOS, but very funny.
Do $6.95 fries go with that $5.00 shake? Not bad.
(ABC3) Um, like I said just above this.
I liked the line about searching for warm dogs. 555
(ABC3) They change the grease? Not here. : D Good one 5's
Hello again, Jeff. I meant to type in ABC3-E above. So, are you still heading this way in November?
You're outta beer!!!!!! I mean here!!!!! 5-5-5
(ABC) See above!
(ABC3E) I know TOS, and this was done beautifully; you had me from the first line. 555
This is funny, and so true! You'll have to settle for S/.5.55. -- MM
(ABC3E) yes, sometimes I just don't feel like I'm spending enough on my fries - especially those freedom-fries - they SHOULD cost more - funny idea, Jeff - 555
ABC: lol, liking it and oh how true, 5s
(ABC3E) Recently went to a football (soccer) game here in London, and for a dinky burger, wilted chips (fries), and a small coke, I paid £7.25...which is about 13 american bucks! So you can stop complaining now...;-) 555
because of the original song i named my son jovi awsome parody very well paced 555
HOLY FREAKING CRAP THIS IS HILARIOUS! LOVE the OS and this parody! 555! Read my parody too www.amiright.com/parody/80s/bonjovi59.shtml I wanna hear this recorded!
(Decathlon) What Johnny D said!
What Matthias Said
(Decathlon - Event 4) I'm glad I'm not a sports fan - I couldn't bare to pay those prices! Well done, Jeff!
TOS is called "Wanted Dead Or Alive" ;)
song title cop, wow, it only took you three years to pick that up. I think you need a new hobby. Slacker.
(DEC4) See above...it gets a bit much when the concessions stands run a credit check on you before serving. ;-)
to "stc": it takes one to know one, mr tapioca head.
(decath4) see above - a little more explainable than some of the unexplainable phenomena I've been reading about this morning - a good argument for a competitive marketplace (ie. an unballgame-ish one)
Decathlon...I am with you on this one, Jeff. And I shake my head in dismay when I think about it after the fact...but you KNOW I never even blink when actually in the line and they say "18.75" for my pretzel and diet coke...sad sad sad. =) Nice work!
The Movie Theaters aren't much better since only for a quarter more you can get a large for about 12 bucks.... And if you want a drink that's about 18 bucks, plus if you're on a date that brings it up to about 30 bucks for popcorn and a couple Cokes. (Not to mention the ticket for a movie that is actually a waste of time to go see). I don't know go to baseball games that often, but I do go to the movies and boy and I relate. I liked the line about the six-pack on your back, because that reminds me of stuffing soda down your slacks in order to save some money at the movies. I liked this one, and can relate although I'm not a sports fan.
Sir Matthias, spending money on your honey is NEVER a waste, Sir !
(Artistry) Never before has so much been said about buying fries at the ballpark than here, and possibly never much more in the future. :)
555 grams of trans fat
(Artistry) See above. Still sizzlin'!
(Artistry) Finally, someone has captured what it's really like to attend an American sporting event. I shudder to think what the concessions will cost at the Dallas Cowboys new billion dollar stadium.
(Artistry) This is why when I go to Husker games, I tailgate. Eat what you want right off the grill. The only thing I gotta get at the stadium is the $3 bottles of water (that cost them maybe $0.50). Good job sir!
Cute idea, I know I've seen this one before, 555
