I Just Couldn’t Wait to Be King (Felix)
Text:
Way beyond the bullpen full
And between base lines
The batters’ dreams of getting hits
Aren’t scheduled on my time
I’d say I’m the ruler
Of most everything that’s round
From the grandest of the AL West
To Seattle’s holy ground
My sinker is an awesome thing
Cos I just couldn’t wait to be king
I’d call myself a noble king
I wouldn’t say I’m fair
I only need a little time
To stop an inning where
The lineup is the main event
Like no king here at all
I’m winding up I’m throwing you
My split, my change, curveball
Watching the batters take their swings
I think it’s safe to call me king
No one saying throw this
No one saying pitch there
No one saying stop that
dyeing til you got blonde hair
Free to play a game all day
But I think I’ll throw my way
The time has come as someone said
To raise prices when I start
To sell K shirts and signs,
for fans, who bow to the pitching king
worried sick since I strained a calf
and will miss 15 days time
I’m sure that I will be just fine,
For, M’s nation is patiently waiting
Since I decided that I’m king
