Those bubble gum cards they came in a pack
And we’d play in the back yard and grab us a snack
And in the deck your face would appear
And it would get my mind going in another gear

I never did ever see ya
Except on a card from Fleer
But I really wanted to be ya

I threw the ball up in the air
Like you’d some day see me there
I’d talk to you after you’d stare
Down a runner who you sat down in a chair

I never did ever see ya
Except on a card from Fleer
But I really wanted to be ya

Who knows what your doing today
Maybe you’ll throw me a ball and say
“You should’ve come out to see me play
For the time they had me and say”

Im so glad I got to see ya
On the field for a game or threea
I really wanted to be ya
