[Ryan]

Hey, batter, batter, hey batter, batter swing.

[Chad]

I've go to just do my thing.

[Ryan]

Hey, batter, batter, hey batter, batter swing.

I'll show you that it's one and the same:

Baseball, dancing, same game.

It's easy:

Step up to the plate, start swingin'.

[Chad]

I wanna play ball now, and that's all.

This is what I do.

It ain't no dance that you can show me.

[Ryan]

You'll never know if you never try.

[Chad]

There's just one little thing that stops me ev'ry time YEAH.

[Ryan]

Come on!

[Chad]

I don't dance.

[Ryan and Girls]

I know you can.

[Chad]

Not a chance.

[Ryan]

If I could do this, well, you could do that.

[Chad]

But I don't dance.

[Ryan]

Hit it out of the park!

[Chad]

I don't dance.

[Ryan]

I say you can.

[Chad]

There's not a chance.

[Ryan]

Slide home, you score, swingin on the dance floor.

[Chad]

I don't dance, no

[Ryan]

Hey, batter, batter, hey batter, batter swing.

[Chad]

I've go to just do my thing.

[Ryan]

Hey, batter, batter, hey batter, batter swing.

Two-steppin, now you're up to bat.

Bases loaded, do your dance.

It's easy:

Take your best shot, just hit it.

[Chad]

I've got what it takes, playin' my game, so you better spin that pitch

You're gonna throw me, YEAH.

I'll show you how I swing.

[Ryan]

You'll never know if you never try.

[Chad]

There's just one little thing that stops me ev'ry time. YEAH.

[Ryan]

Come on!

[Chad]

I don't dance.

[Ryan]

I know you can.

[Chad]

Not a chance.

[Ryan and Girls]

If I could do this, well, you could do that.

[Chad]

But I don't dance.

[Ryan]

Hit it out of the park!

[Chad]

I don't dance.

[Ryan]

I say you can.

[Chad]

There's not a chance.

[Ryan]

Slide home, you score, swingin on the dance floor.

[Chad]

I don't dance, no.

[Ryan]

Lean back, tuck it in, take a chance.

Swing it out, spin around, do the dance.

[Chad]

I wanna play ball, not dance hall.

I'm makin a triple, not a curtain call.

[Ryan]

I can prove it to you till you know it's true,

'Cause I can swing it, I can bring it to the diamond too.

[Chad]

You're talkin' a lol, show me what you got. STOP.

[ALL]

Swing!

[Ryan]

HEY

Come on, swing it like this.

Oh, swing!

[Chad]

Ooh

[Ryan]

Jitterbug...just like that.

That's what I mean, that's how you swing.

[Chad]

You make a good pitch but I don't believe.

[Ryan]

I say you can.

[Chad]

I know I can't.

[Ryan and Chad]

I don't dance.

[Ryan]

You can do it.

[Chad]

I don't dance, no.

[Ryan]

Nothin' to it. Alta boy, Alta boy. YEAH.

[Chad]

Hey, batter, batter, hey batter, batter what?

[Ryan]

One, two, three, four, everybody swing!

[Ryan and Chad]

COME ON!

[Chad]
