La Pelota

Alright gentlemen, the baseball season is starting
And the home plate umpire says play ball

The corner's heating up, gentlemen
The debates are getting intense
The excitement in the air is serious
'Cause the baseball season has begun

Some say Caguas can't be beaten
While others claim Mayagüez is the best
And the folks from Ponce say Ponce is the key
And Arecibo's painted on the wall

They're saying, the new senators
That they're really tough for real
And I tell all those big talkers
Not to forget that the crab is their daddy

Here comes the ball, it's heating up
Here comes the ball, let's see who hits harder

Between San Juan and Santurce, there's a lot of rivalry
But I keep saying, let's see who hits harder

Here comes the ball, it's heating up
Here comes the ball, let's see who hits harder

From Ponce, they're saying they have a hotshot
Let's see who can tame that lion's mane

Here comes the ball, it's heating up
Here comes the ball, let's see who hits harder

And the folks from Arecibo say San Juan can't shake them
Watch out for that little mare, she might just kick you

Fans say Mayagüez beats Ponce
Ponce beats Arecibo, Arecibo beats Caguas, Caguas beats Mayagüez
San Juan and Santurce are always at war
For the city crown
The truth is, the ones who enjoy it are the fans

Clemente and Peluchin are coming too
I ran into Papo Torres, and he tells me
That if they give him a chance, he's gonna hit it out of the park
Surprise, they're practicing slippery plays, Roque and Marzo Cabrera
And they say they're coming back, this is a phenomenon

Let's play ball and may the best team win.
