You Should Have Seen Me Throw That Ball - Tom Paxton

Bills come due

Write a cheque and send it through

Hope it clears

Haven’t cleared a cheque in years

I’d better flash that grin

It’s bound to win

Never misses when I turn it on

Though the kid’s getting old

What can you do

When it goes bad on you

You’d better run

Tell ‘em about the games you won

You should have seen me throw that ball

You should have seen me throw that ball

First and ten

Never run a play again

How’d I know

That was far as I would go

They’d buy me all my beer

They like to hear

How I fooled them I when I pulled my fake

They called me ‘Snake'

What can you do

When it goes bad on you

You’d better run

Tell ‘em about the games you won

You should have seen me throw that ball

You should have seen me throw that ball

I had it all

Why’d they have to drop the ball

Right on the nose

Bet I could have made the pros

I didn’t need my charm

When I had my arm

First and ten

Never run a play again

How’d I know

That was far as I would go

They’d buy me all my beer

They like to hear

How I fooled them I when I pulled my fake

They called me ‘Snake'

But what can you do

When it goes bad on you

You’d better run

Tell ‘em about the games you won

You should have seen me throw that ball

You should have seen me throw that ball

You should have seen me throw that ball

You should have seen me throw that ball
