I never got a grip on penmanship 
                                 Bb 
Could never make the small  L's  flow 
F9 
Seldom found the trick to arith-a-metic 
                  Bb7M 
Three plus two be mo' pas 
 

    Bb7M      C 
But ask for some palm trees 
   Bb7M        C 
Or tales from the South Seas 
      Bb7M     C         F 
And I just might turn your head 
 
I never had the clout to knock one out 

But hitting was the name of my game 

Standing on third as the coaches conferred 

Close to my first claim to fame 
 
Just give me the steal sign 

And I'll make home plate mine 

And I just might turn some heads 
 

Bb7                          F 
Sometimes I may get a little drastic 
Bb7                              F 
Sometimes I just let my feelin's show 
Bb7                      F 
Sometimes I may be a bit sarcastic 
G                                   C 
Most times that's the way the story goes 
 
instrumental  
 
Now I now this Joe down in Mexico 
He went there to work on his tan 
For years he's been plugged into blenders and songs 
They call him the Twelve Volt Man 
 
He don't need no charge card 
Just give him a Die Hard 
And he'll makes sparks fly 'round your head 
 
Oh just ask for some palm trees 
Or tales from the South Seas 
And I'll make sparks fly 'round your head 
 
'Round your head 
In your head (7 times) 
In your head...
