I always try to balance out each upload of a well-known Hank song with a really obscure one.
So here is Miniature Soccer Team.
(Yes, this song is Hank writing about his sister-in-law's womb.)
==============
C
C
A year ago today,
G
My brother convinced a girl to say "I do".
And that girl was you.
C
But Sarah, I've got to warn you,
I don't think you know just what you swore to.
G
You'll see,
What I mean.
F G
Oh nothin' in the world could ever stop John Green,
C
From achieving his one unmatchable dream.
F G
I don't think that he would even stop at 19.
C F
He wants two entire miniature soccer teams
C
From you.
From your womb.
C
11 on each side;
Co-ed teams would be just fine.
G
As long,
as you don't take long.
C
44 little tiny baby cleats
Tied onto 44 baby feets
G
So cute.
In their little Umbro suits.
F G
Well I'm glad you think that you're the luckiest girl,
C
In Indianapolis and all of the world.
F G
But I wouldn't think you'd be too keen,
C F
On birthing a miniature soccer team,
C
For him.
All for him.
C
It might sound inhumane,
It might sound like a lot of pain.
G
Unless you opt
To adopt.
C
But John would probably just call me a cynic,
I think he's already called fertility clinics.
G
He's serious
About this.
F G
Oh 22 kids is probably more
C
Than a middle-class family like you can afford.
F G
But nothing in the world is gonna stop John Green,
C F
From seeing his miniature soccer team,
C
At play.
Oh, all day.
C
Sarah I have to warn you,
G
Warn you about what you've sworn to John Green,
C
Is a baby makin' machine.
