Welcome ladies and gentlemen

This is Mark... oh-Who-gives-a-f**k from '93 TV

This is my co-host, Bob Buttafuoco

(Hey hey guys) Yeah yeah yeah

We got a crowd that's in a frenzy Bob

Let's go down to the announcers

for the start of the game

And now.. please rise for the singing

*paraphrasing "The Jeffersons"*(Chorus)

I say the fish don't fry in the kitchen

Beans don't burn on the grill (that's right)

It took a whole lot of tah-ryin

I said but now we're up in the BIG LEAGUES

My dirty it's our turn at bat

And just as long as we livin,

It ain't nuttin wrong with that,

give-me-what-you-got thing, hot wings

f**k a dub, smoke an ounce, show me love

Hit the club, me and T-Luv holla what

I put my mack down, she threw a curve ball

that herb that's some Nelly-bo

First base, God livin' like a worst race

First chase, throw yo' people and yo' kind

smoke that herb and clear yo' mind

It's about time, second base wisdom rhyme

skipped third base and headed home

Third baseman just don't understand

diamonds and pearls the way

You wasn't f**kin with me, leave,

for the wrap that's in my seed

Now you stays on yo knees

cause we's be in the big league

Cause we's be in the big leauge

Fish don't fry in the kitchen

Beans don't burn on the grill

Took a whole lot of tah-ryin

Said now were up in the big leagues

My dirrty it our turn at bat

And just as long as we livin

IT ain't nothin wrong with that ahhh

Well you should see me now,

I'm stealin' second and third

and lookin home gettin greedy now

See me now, people call me speedy now

Known for runnin the quickest miles

hit and run in any town, any ground

Rules 'fore I hit it, split it,

And hit it, lick it, did I say lick it,

Ain't no shame in my game,

that normal sh*t ain't my thang

If I speak wit my dick then

put your mouth on my brains

I maintain through the atmosphere,

hear the roars and the cheers

From the crowd when I take the mile,

Hit the ball on the ground

and make 'em get down in the dirt

Well Bob this next young batter on deck

He's still in high school (yeah I heard that)

(It's a great day though)

out in U-City of St. Louis, Missouri

(I think his name's umm, who knows..

Mur-uhh, Murphy Lee or somethin)

I went from fantasies to dreams,

I been in it since, ninety-three

You can tell cause my L angle 90 degrees

I'ma sixteen year-old school boy,

the whole real to make a mill'

talk straight up like motto

I could tell you somethin now,

you think twice about it tomorrow

than file cabinets when rappin

I'm comin up like family members

in basements, and I stay bent

Make a milli to play with,

buy a building you can pay me

And the 'tic is who I came with

You know how we do, we do,

we do, we do, we do, we do

Oh my God Bob did you see the game?

Bob, Bob what are you doing lookin at the sky Bob?

Oh sh*t Bob are you on drugs?

shut up lets stay on the topic

I did think it was a great game today

You missed a great game Bob

That that first guy I really liked him

He hit it out of the park

The second guy I liked him too

He was moving around the bases

"Batter Up" is a single by the American rapper Nelly and the St. Lunatics, released on September 11, 2001. It was produced by Steve "Blast" Wills, taken from Nelly's 2000 album Country Grammar. "Batter Up" is included as a bonus track on the Free City album and remixed on Da Derrty Versions. The song's hook and chorus allude to the theme song of the television sitcom The Jeffersons. The show's star, Sherman Hemsley, appears in the music video for "Batter Up", initially as a sports announcer and later dancing with members of St. Lunatics. It is the last single from Nelly's first studio album, and was released on the same day as the September 11 attacks. At the beginning of the music video to "Ride Wit Me", Nelly is shown to be listening to "Batter Up". more »

Welcome ladies and gentlemen
This is Mark, oh-Who-gives-a-f*ck from '93 TV
This is my co-host, Bob Buttafuoco
(Hey hey guys) Yeah yeah yeah
We got a crowd that's in a frenzy Bob
Let's go down to the announcers for the start of the game

And now, please rise for the singing of our national anthem

I say the fish don't fry in the kitchen
Beans don't burn on the grill (that's right)
It took a whole lot of trying
Just to get up that hill
I said but now we're up in the big leagues
My dirty it's our turn at bat
And just as long as we living, it's Lunatics player
It ain't nothing wrong with that, batter up

I'm the first to swing
Home run with that give-me-what-you-got thing, hot wings
F*ck a dub, smoke an ounce, show me love
Hit the club, me and T-Luv holla what
I put my mack down, she throw a curve ball
She owed Milli smoked that herb and some Llly-bone
She tip-top 'em, Optimo
First base, god living like a worst race
First chase, throw yo' people and yo' kind
Second lesson, smoke that herb and clear yo' mind
It's about time, second base wisdom rhyme
Sitting strong, skipped third base and headed home
Third baseman just don't understand baby what the bong
What the f*ck wrong, with this world today
With these girls today, diamonds and pearls the way
You wasn't fucking with me, leave, for the wrap that's in my seed
Now you stays on yo knees cause we's be in the big league
Cause we's be in the big league

I say the fish don't fry in the kitchen
Beans don't burn on the grill (that's right)
It took a whole lot of trying
Just to get up that hill
I said but now we're up in the big leagues
My dirty it's our turn at bat
And just as long as we living, it's Lunatics player
It ain't nothing wrong with that, batter up

Well you should see me now, I'm eating Wheaties now
I'm stealing second and third and looking home peeping greedy now
See me now, people call me speedy now
Known for running the quickest miles
hit and run in any town, any ground
Rules 'fore I hit it, split it, lick it and quit it
And hit it, lick it, did I say lick it, (yeah) f*ck it, lick it
Ain't no shame in my game, that normal shit ain't my thing
If I think with my dick then put your mouth on my brain
I maintain through the atmosphere, what we got here
A sucker in fear, hear the roars and the cheers
From the crowd when I take the mile, let me show 'em how
Hit the ball on the ground and make 'em get down

I say the fish don't fry in the kitchen
Beans don't burn on the grill (that's right)
It took a whole lot of trying
Just to get up that hill
I said but now we're up in the big leagues
My dirty it's our turn at bat
And just as long as we living, it's Lunatics player
It ain't nothing wrong with that, batter up

Well this next young batter on deck
He's still in high school (yeah I heard that)
(It's a great day though)
A good high school out in U-City of St. Louis, Missouri
(I think his name's umm, who knows,
Murphey Lee or something)

I want my name not, not said but screamed
I went from fantasies to dreams, dreams to bigger things
I'm like Bennett I been in it since, ninety-three
You can tell cause my L angle 90 degrees
I'ma sixteen year-old school boy, platinum skills
Swear to tell the real, the whole real to make a mill'
I lie little but still, talk straight up like motto
I could tell you something now, you think twice about it tomorrow
I promise, I gets deeper than file cabinets when rapping
Money, money, money, money what's happening
I'm coming up like family members in basements, and I stay bent
Make a milli to play with, buy a building you can pay me
And the 'tic is who I came with
You know how we do, we do, we do, we do, we do, we do

I say the fish don't fry in the kitchen
Beans don't burn on the grill (that's right)
It took a whole lot of trying
Just to get up that hill
I said but now we're up in the big leagues
My dirty it's our turn at bat
And just as long as we living, it's Lunatics player
It ain't nothing wrong with that, batter up
