HAVE A BALL
(Leon Rhodes)
THE COUNTRY DUDES (AZALEA 121/2-D-45, 1959)

No use to sit and shout
I've been counted out
I can read the writin' on the wall
You've scratched me from the race
Someone will take my place
You're still in there kickin'
Have a ball

When I started at the post
You thought I was the most
Each time you yelled
I answered your call
But now our love is dead
I finished in the red
You're still in there kickin'
Have a ball

I wished I could have finished up a winner
Walked in the winners circle with you
And though I lost the race I'm still a winner
'Cause I had the joy of lovin' you

If you need someone to run
For real and not for fun
I'll be waitin' at the same old stall
Until that lucky day
I'll stand around and gaze
You're still in there kickin'
Have a ball

I wished I could have finished up a winner
Walked in the winners circle with you
And though I lost the race I'm still a winner
'Cause I had the joy of lovin' you

If you need someone to run
For real and not for fun
I'll be waitin' at the same old stall
Until that lucky day
I'll stand around and gaze
You're still in there kickin'
Have a ball
You're still in there kickin'
Have a ball
Have a ball
Have a ball
Have a ball
