Come and Play Catch With Me
Momma, Momma, Daddy’s home
Through with work, and he’s come home
Hey Daddy - come and play catch with me
Hurry up, Daddy, and change your clothes
Get your glove, ‘cause everybody knows
That you’re my daddy and you play catch with me
Come and play catch and throw the ball
Throw the ball, throw the ball
Come and play catch and throw the ball
Come and play catch with me
I’ve been waiting all day for you
Waiting till your job at the office is through
Hey, Daddy, come and play catch with me
I’ve been practicing all day long
Feel my muscle and see how strong
Hey, Daddy, come and play catch with me
Come and play catch and throw the ball
Throw the ball, throw the ball
Come and play catch and throw the ball
Come and play catch with me
I can throw it straight to you
I can throw a curve ball, too
Hey, Daddy, come and play catch with me
When I’m as big as you some day
You can come and see me play
Hey, Daddy, come and play catch with me
Come and play catch and throw the ball
Throw the ball, throw the ball
Come and play catch and throw the ball
Come and play catch with me
I wanna play like the big guys do
Uniforms and umpires, too
Hey, Daddy, come and play catch with me
Big kids told me I’m too small
Next year I’ll be bigger ‘n ‘em all
Hey, Daddy, come and play catch with me
Come and play catch and throw the ball
Throw the ball, throw the ball
Come and play catch and throw the ball
Come and play catch with me
Daddy - come and play catch and throw the ball
Throw the ball, throw the ball
Come and play catch and throw the ball
Come and play catch with me
Come and play catch with me
