Can you hear whispers and murmurs?
Puppet collection, those furry squirmers -
puppies yip and kitties purr,
asking for a puppet theater.
Now, it is your sacred duty
to satisfy each puppet cutie.
An old shoe box will hit the mark,
bring down the house, knock it out of the park.
Swing batter batter swing
Keep swinging no matter what life's curve balls may bring
The bases are loaded and the heat is on
Make a choice to take a chance before the opportunity is gone
We hit high fly balls and low ones that make us cheery and weary
Life's a mix of both and we are all champions in our own world series
Everyone feels defeated as you strike out and miss
Don't you give up it could lead to a victory kiss
Next time around you may knock it out of the park
We are all stars and have the power within to illuminate the dark
