lyrics

We’ve been waiting for winter to be over, and baseball season to start.
We read the sport sections to learn about the trades.
Will it help our team, all the deals that they made.
Waiting for winter to be over and baseball to start.
They’re working out on the diamond in the desert, under the mid-day sun.
How hard can they hit, how fast can they run,
How true is their pitch when it’s under the gun.
Waiting for winter to be over and baseball to start.

And every team’s a winner today, everyone’s a champion today.
Nobody’s paying their dues today, nobody’s singing the blues today.
Nobody’s got the blues on Opening Day.

We’ve got hot dogs and peanuts and beers, oh my, hot dogs and peanuts and beers.
Wearing a brand new t-shirt and a lucky cap, ready for action with a glove on our lap.
The fans all are ready for Opening Day.

The club house music is rocking, while the team’s getting ready to play.
New jerseys in the locker with last year’s bobblehead.
A lucky baseball card and a picture of your kid.
The players all are ready for Opening Day.

And every team’s a winner today, everyone’s a champion today.
Nobody’s paying their dues today, nobody’s singing the blues today.
Nobody’s got the blues on Opening Day.

And every team’s a winner today, everyone’s a champion today.
Nobody’s paying their dues today, nobody’s singing the blues today.
Nobody’s gets the blues, nobody gets the blues, nobody gets the blues on Opening Day.
