  • This town ain't big, this town ain't small
    It's a little of both they say
    Our ball club may be minor league but at least it's triple A
    We sit below the Marlboro man, above the right field wall
    We do the wave all by ourself
    Hey ump, a blind man could've made that call

    We like our beer flat as can be
    We like our dogs with mustard and relish
    We got a great pitcher what's his name
    Well we can't even spell it
    We don't worry about the pennant much
    We just like to see the boys hit it deep
    There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats

    The game was close, we'll call it a win
    Go off to toast the boys again
    That local band is back in town
    They got a kinda minor league sound
    They're not that bad, they're not that good
    But all in all it's understood
    We wanna dance, they wanna play
    We wouldn't have it any other way

    We like our beer flat as can be
    We like our dogs with mustard and relish
    We got a great pitcher what's his name
    Well we can't even spell it
    We don't worry about the pennant much
    We just like to see the boys hit it deep
    There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats

    Cheap seats

    Now the majors called up ol' what's his name
    And one more buildin' rises tall
    And suddenly we're all grown up
    And this old town not quite so small
    But I'll always miss the middle size town
    In the middle of the middle-west
    With no name pitchers and local bands
    And mustard and relish and all the rest

    We like our beer flat as can be
    We like our dogs with mustard and relish
    We got a great pitcher what's his name
    Well we can't even spell it
    We don't worry about the pennant much
    We just like to see the boys hit it deep
    There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats
