From the night that it got struck by lightning
Roy Hobbs started to hit some home runs
There was so much to hit with this bat
He made the Knights from New York Number 1
Roy Hobbs was older than the others
And yet, he hit like Babe Ruth
When his bat met the ball, it went very far
And the pitcher didn't know what to do

He's a Natural named Hobbs, with a magic Slugger
He soon found out, he could hit with power
Hit it out of the park, and smash the lights out
He's a Natural, a Natural named Hobbs

Then he hit homers by the handful
And soon, all the records would fall
He was well ahead of his time
The way he knocked the cover off the ball
When he arrived in the big leagues
The Knights were one of the worst
But he hit some home runs, and the Knights soon won
And miraculously finished first

He's a Natural named Hobbs, with a magic Slugger
He soon found out, he could hit with power
Hit it out of the park, and smash the lights out
He's a Natural, a Natural named Hobbs...
With a magic Slugger
He soon found out, he could hit with power
Hit it out of the park, and smash the lights out
He's a Natural, a Natural named Hobbs

He could smash the lights out, yeah
He's a Natural, a Natural named Hobbs
