Do you remember that song by Janis Ian? The one where she complains about Not getting chosen for the basketball team? Her song went, "For those whose names are never called When choosing sides for basketball" Remember that depressing song? I would have written about that but she did it first When you're 5 foot 2 Okay, 5 one and a half And everybody else in the whole gym class If 5 foot 3 and even taller, it hurts Truth is I hadn't thought about that for years But then a recent phone call rekindled all those fears "A softball game ", Robin said, "And you're invited" Softball? Great, that's my game Why softball's practically my middle name I'll be right over I said, feeling excited Even though I can't throw, I can't hit I can't run, I must admit I can't catch, I can't pitch In softball I have not found my niche But I don't let details get in my way Team sports, ooh, that's what I loves to play I got dressed, got my sneakers tied Made it to the park in time for choosing sides Pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me, ooh Pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me, ooh Glove? Sure I own a glove But it's in the repair shop with my rugby helmet But I can always borrow from the other team Pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me Pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me This part goes on for a long, long time Because 20 people showed up to play and they picked 10 to a side So as the ranks of the chosen grew and the unchosen we depleted I tried to act nonchalant 'Cause deja vu, I was the last one chosen Even after the overdressed Felicity Rosen Do you know her? She was wearing high heels Stockings with seams and those Lee stick on nails And they picked her before me They put me in the field so far out and to the right I was practically out of sight But everybody said, I had a real good day I didn't make any errors, I didn't make any plays You see, the ball never came out my way And I figured it's just gonna be one of those days Now, coming up to bat was a whole new kind of humbling experience I took one swing and missed, that was no surprise I took another swing and missed, that was no surprise Then I practiced strategy, I let one go by, the umpire called it a ball I had a proud moment Then the pitcher figured me out He threw one I just couldn't resist, I swung and I actually hit it
