SING A LITTLE QUIETER

Hawthorne, California
Home-plate, it's summertime
Pitch comes in so quickly
Said you'd rather walk the line
On hardwood courts
In your shorty-shorts
Three-pointer for the tie

The Wilson boys in the locker room
They sing for you
And now we all will sing for you

When they tell you to sing a little quieter
Just let your service become your choir

Gilbert, Arizona
Grown kids, it's Christmas time
See's Candy, summer sausage
Apaches on the factory line
Time to make some bread
Keep the widows fed
The most precious gift is time

The Wilson boys in the locker room
They sing for you
And now we all will sing for you

When they tell you to sing a little quieter
Just let your service become your choir
