Lyrics & Translation

[English]

so he keeps giving you all those Stevie

Nicks CDs I do want to tell him though I

just have to find the right time you'll

know when it's right what's the big deal

just tell him it's not that simple

this is Marvin we're talking about right

I'll tell him right then give me the

phone I'll call him I'll tell him I know

no Jessica that's the worst thing anyone

could do Nicole has to come out to

Marvin when she's ready Thanks

honestly I'm just happy telling you but

well I feel like I can relax and focus

on softball team Cattleman's the greater

Orlando bar and restaurant softball

tournament is here play ball

Emory and Hector are wearing our

brand-new 1997 Cattleman's ranch

softball team uniforms featuring three

kinds of lycra and extra long jersey

Emory why don't you tell us who we're

playing in the first round

we're playing denim turtle so it's bras

I've never lost a game we're screwed

hey win or lose we'll definitely have

the most team spirit am i right

ha Lois can I talk to you for a second

oh sure Evan take over make sure

everyone gets a spirit stick okay god I

love this team I feel like Joe Torre but

with better hair so I've run the numbers

and you've spent more on softball

uniforms and equipment than we've spent

on vinaigrette for the whole year sure

but vinaigrette isn't gonna bring a

staff together you can't put a price on

bonding you can actually it's $2,500 and

it's too much I'm here to represent the

interests of Kenny Rogers in all

restaurant decisions are supposed to be

5050 I can't support yes

but the staff loves the team maybe if he

ever won got the restaurants name out

there we could justify it but you lose

every game every year what about this if

we win the tournament we get to keep the

team how about this if you can win one

game just one uh game you can keep the

team I find your lack of confidence

annoying but I accept your terms you

came out to my mom Jessica Jessica won't

it really blew her mind she kept asking

me you feel nothing for Denzel

again I'm not attracted to any men not

even done zeldo when he's in a suit okay

your turn what's your saturn news isn't

it dope it's my fashion manifesto look

at the number double zero like butt

cheeks great news Marvin got us a ringer

why nobody has a doorbell we like sharp

strong ding followed by elegant low doll

no ringers a very skilled player who's

brought in to make sure the team wins

turns out bobby bonilla the Florida

Marlins third baseman is a close friend

and client of Marvin who convinced him

to play

cattlemen ho ho this changes things I'm

going to need a few more minutes with

the lineup
