The Athlete

Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean

They gave me a suit and num-ber
And sent me out on the field.
Then gave me a ball called the pigskin,
And shoes with some cleats, toe and heel.

Chorus
Mus-cles, cra-mps
Wracking my body with pain, with pain,
I stand, wonder-ing
If ever I'll do this again!

Next time they gave me a racquet,
Then sent me out on the court,
Fun-ny the things you encounter,
While trying to lea-arn a sport
Chorus

The or-deal was finally over,
At least -that's wh-at I thought,
When they showed me the soccer equipment,
I fainted dead on the spot!
Chorus
