Lyrics
THE KICKBALL SONG
(Papageorge)

VERSE #1:
Remember when you were just a kid way back in fifth grade
Learnin’ how to play the game that your best friends played
Well, it only took a time or two
Till you were meetin’ everyday after school
Now the game that you loved back then is back again today

CHORUS:
EVERYBODY LOVES KICKBALL
EVERYBODY LOVES KICKBALL
When the sun is out and the sky is blue
There's nothing else that I would rather do
Than play kickball
EVERYBODY LOVES KICKBALL

VERSE #2:
Well, I'm way out here in left field 'cause there's a Big Kid up
We're playin' in a tournament game for the Founder's Cup
Now, that red ball's comin' at me
I make the winning catch down on my knees
Well, whoever said havin’ fun had to be kid stuff?

(Repeat CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
And when the game is over and the cheers have all died down
We'll head on over to Kelly's and have a few rounds

(Repeat CHORUS)
