Lyrics & Translation

[English]

are you kidding I was here first get

lost we were here first but we're

scheduled for this time on this field

let's say this is no way for adults to

act in front of children

you're not only coaches you're also role

models I would hardly call what he does

coaching Wow excellent role modeling

apparently the girls team does not have

a field assigned to them for practice

but the boys team does no not on my

watch every child has the right to play

no matter how boring the sport okay

could you just share the field with the

girls today please

I'm the girls coach she's the boys coach

oh okay sorry sexist it's not yeah it

kind of is okay why don't the boys take

the field today and then I will make

sure that the girls get a place to

practice by the end of the week and that

little lady is a Leslie Knope promise

I'm a boy

good yeah cuz I wasn't talking to you I

was talking to you you're a girl right

yeah yep she

Key Grammar Structures

• Are you kidding I was here first

  ➔ present continuous question

  ➔ The verb "kidding" forms a present‑continuous question with the auxiliary "are": "Are you **kidding**?"

• Let's say this is no way for adults to act in front of children

  ➔ "let's" + base verb (imperative suggestion)

  ➔ "Let's" is a contraction of "let us" used to make a gentle suggestion: "**Let's** say…"

• You're not only coaches, you're also role models

  ➔ "not only … but also" correlative conjunction

  ➔ "Not only" introduces the first element, and "but also" adds a second, stronger element: "**not only** coaches, **but also** role models".

• I would hardly call what he does coaching

  ➔ modal verb "would" + base verb (polite conditional)

  ➔ "Would" expresses a tentative attitude: "I **would** hardly call…" meaning "I am reluctant to call…"

• Could you just share the field with the girls today please

  ➔ modal verb "could" for polite request

  ➔ "Could" softens the request: "**Could** you share the field?" – more polite than "Can you…"

• Why don't the boys take the field today?

  ➔ negative imperative suggestion with "why don't"

  ➔ "Why don't" introduces a suggestion that sounds like a gentle command: "**Why don't** the boys take…?"

• I will make sure that the girls get a place to practice by the end of the week

  ➔ future intention with "will" + base verb

  ➔ "Will" marks a firm future plan: "I **will** make sure…" indicates certainty about the action.

• No matter how boring the sport, every child has the right to play

  ➔ concessive clause with "no matter how"

  ➔ "No matter how" introduces a condition that does not affect the main statement: "**No matter how** boring the sport, …"
