lyrics

in 1988
I was a baseball great
about to break
the all time pitching record
of the day
most no hitters played
I would cement my fate
as a no-no hall of famer
sad to say
I let it slip away
because I hate the wave

you disrespect the game
and everyone who plays
If you participate

It was the 8th of June
and on that afternoon
I pitched a perfect tune
until the bottom 9th
After the second out
the wave came crashing down
from the pitcher’s mound
I pitched ball into the batter’s
arm with rage
I couldn't concentrate
because I hate the wave

and on this awful day
it starts to rain
and the dugout empties
of all teammates
they curse they claim
I won’t get away
I try and run
but I can't escape
then my arm it breaks
bone separates
And tears of pain
stream down my face
As I curse the wave
for the gifts it gave
on this final day
I ever play
the game

and now I’m old and grey
I am 68
but things are going great
because I still get paid from an
endorsement deal
for a stainless steel
toaster oven with seal
of approval upon it engraved

and they gave it a name
of which I have learned to embrace
they call it the wave
They are calling it the wave
