(Scat Intro)

[JOSH AND NATHANIEL]

Sha da da dop sop top bop dabba doo dow

(Verse)

[NATHANIEL]

We're down for the count

It's down to the wire

We can't drop the ball

We gotta aim a little higher

[JOSH]

'Cause when we're on the ropes

And it's our turn at bat

We gotta throw a Hail Mary

Gotta go to the mat

[JOSH AND NATHANIEL]

Sports analogies

Sports analogies

[NATHANIEL]

We found the common ground in all men's personalities

[JOSH]

We talk a big game, that's how we relate

[JOSH AND NATHANIEL]

It's the easiest way for men to communicate

(Interlude)

[NATHANIEL]

Hike!

[JOSH AND NATHANIEL]

Sha da da dop sop top bop dabba doo dow

(Verse 2)

[JOSH]

It's par for the course

[NATHANIEL]

When you're in the home stretch

[JOSH]

To swing for the fences

[NATHANIEL]

With a full-court press

[JOSH]

We're on the one-yard line

[NATHANIEL]

Inches to go

[JOSH]

So you'll pitch and I'll catch

[NATHANIEL]

'Cause it's our lead to blow

[JOSH AND NATHANIEL]

Let's use more sports analogies

Sports analogies

They help men cope with life's harsh realities

[JOSH]

Let's spew more cliches

[NATHANIEL]

'Til we run out the clock

[JOSH]

Just keep your eye on the ball

[NATHANIEL]

The puck

[JOSH]

And my shuttlecock

[JOSH AND NATHANIEL]

Hey!

(Instrumental and drinking break)

(Bridge)

[JOSH AND NATHANIEL]

Sometimes when we watch sports, we get sad

And we make it seem like we're sad about the sports

[JOSH]

But we're not really crying about the game at all

[NATHANIEL]

Who really cares about a game of basketball?

[JOSH AND NATHANIEL]

We're sad about our dads

We couldn't talk to our dads

(Coda)

Unless we used sports analogies

Sports analogies

Men feel safe with these empty generalities

[NATHANIEL]

Let's go for the gold

[JOSH]

And then we'll hit the lockers

[JOSH AND NATHANIEL]

We're American men, we like all sports except for soccer

'Cause soccer's just a bunch of foreigners runnin' around

Yeah!
