My family, a lace tied so tight
Won't you come to watch me tonight?
To win! To watch me bathe in glory!
But no, you say you're sorry.

My brother they chose again.
They say their team beats us by ten.
CRACK ! far away I hit a ball,
But all they saw was me to fall.

"Mother, father you missed it all!"
But no luck just seems to befall.
