The Lyrics
US Major League baseball players are scheduled to strike in two days, unless the union and baseball team owners can agree on a new labor deal. If the strike does go through, expect a major backlash from fans.
O-ur temper's now so inflamed
All the players, we know their names
We can see that they're overpaid
Walk away, we're betrayed
Negotiations, nowhere to go
Attendance is down to zero
What do we see, the empty dugouts
We the fans, we now all shout
"They walked out on the ball game
Ballparks without the crowds
Overpriced peanuts and Cracker Jack
I don't think fans will ever be back
Now we boo, boo, boo, all of the teams
They really should be ashamed
Now it's one, two, three, strikes, it's out
That's the old ball game
Furious, angry all of the fans
They hate the teams, every man
Telling them all they are wrong
And how long, is it long
'Til the end of two-oh-oh-two.
And all the fans know what to do
Fed up with prices thru the roof
They are now singing this song
"They walked out on the ball game
Ballparks without the crowds
Overpriced peanuts and Cracker Jack
I don't think fans will ever be back
Now we boo, boo, boo, all of the teams
They really should be ashamed
Now it's one, two, three, strikes, it's out
That's the old ball game
All the players, we know their names
We can see that they're overpaid
Walk away, we're betrayed
Negotiations, nowhere to go
Attendance is down to zero
What do we see, the empty dugouts
We the fans, we now all shout
"They walked out on the ball game
Ballparks without the crowds
Overpriced peanuts and Cracker Jack
I don't think fans will ever be back
Now we boo, boo, boo, all of the teams
They really should be ashamed
Now it's one, two, three, strikes, it's out
That's the old ball game
Furious, angry all of the fans
They hate the teams, every man
Telling them all they are wrong
And how long, is it long
'Til the end of two-oh-oh-two.
And all the fans know what to do
Fed up with prices thru the roof
They are now singing this song
"They walked out on the ball game
Ballparks without the crowds
Overpriced peanuts and Cracker Jack
I don't think fans will ever be back
Now we boo, boo, boo, all of the teams
They really should be ashamed
Now it's one, two, three, strikes, it's out
That's the old ball game
