Barbra Manatee (Manatee, manatee) You are the one for me (One for me, one for me) I'll take you to the ball (To the ball, to the ball) I hope you're not too tall (You might have trouble dancing)
My grandma used to sing this song, After the ball is over, after the break of morn, After the dancers' leaving, after the stars are gone, Many a heart is aching, if you could read them all— Many the hopes that have vanished after the ball.
One day as I was looking o'er my father's castle wall I saw all the boys a-playin' with the ball My own true love was the flower of them all He's young but he's daily growin'.
Lang a-Growin' (an old ballad I first heard done by Joan Baez)
DAMNED pretty song. I've had this typed waiting and waiting for someone to play so I could play it: =============== and like a rubber ball I'll come bouncing back to you
(I had forgotten it, but heard it on the oldies station last week, and I don't know who did it)\ ===============
So now I'm going to go buy it, and play this instead:
They say he wants to find a bride He may find one at the ball!
"The Prince is Giving a Ball," from Cinderella (Rodgers and Hammerstein)
I just don't have the courage to play the song that's in my head at the moment, so I'll let someone else grab it. Hint: It's from Southpark and it's (not) about food.
Instead, I'll play another VeggieTales goodie:
Can I have my ball? Can you get my ball? I kicked it into the tree. And my ball bounced up, And my ball dropped in To the gated community.
I wish I was a spaceman The fastest guy alive I'd fly you `round the universe In Fireball XL5 Way out in space together Conquerors of the skies My heart would be a fireball, a fireball Every time I gazed into your starry eyes

Barbra Manatee
(Manatee, manatee)
You are the one for me
(One for me, one for me)
I'll take you to the ball
(To the ball, to the ball)
I hope you're not too tall
(You might have trouble dancing)
-From Silly Songs with Larry on VeggieTales
My son turned ten just the other day
He said, Thanks for the ball Dad, come on let's play...

My grandma used to sing this song,
After the ball is over, after the break of morn,
After the dancers' leaving, after the stars are gone,
Many a heart is aching, if you could read them all—
Many the hopes that have vanished after the ball.
Take me out to the ballgame
Take me out to the park
And I think it's gonna be alright
Yes the worst is over now
The morning sun is rising like a red rubber ball
Little boy in a baseball cap
Stands in the field
With his ball and bat
Kenny Rogers
"The Greatest"
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Sweet
One day as I was looking o'er my father's castle wall
I saw all the boys a-playin' with the ball
My own true love was the flower of them all
He's young but he's daily growin'.
Lang a-Growin' (an old ballad I first heard done by Joan Baez)
Just to hit the ball
And touch them all
A moment in the sun
John Fogerty
"Centerfield"
We'll join in the jamboree
At the codfish ball
(old, old... Shirley Temple movie or early, early Disney cartoon?)
Just like a rubber ball
I come bouncing back to you,
Lovely 60's song.
He's a pinball wizard
got such a supple wrist
"Tommy"
Pink Floyd

I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
House of the Rising Sun
(Oh, and Tommy was The Who)
Come along and follow me
To the bottom of the sea
We'll join in the jamboree
At the Codfish Ball!
I want to do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankees play ball
Terri Clark
I had a friend was a big baseball player
Back in high school
He could throw that speed ball by you,
Make you look like a fool
"Glory Days" - Bruce Springsteen

Can I have my ball?
Can you get my ball?
I kicked it into the tree.
And my ball bounced up,
And my ball dropped in
To the gated community.
Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
Big Balls by AC/DC
This is the night to go to the celebrity ball
-Celebrate by Three Dog Night
I'm glad I'm going to the
Everything in the Wrong Place Ball
With you.
-Oscar the Grouch
The theme from "Fireball XL5" (an old TV show)
I wish I was a spaceman
The fastest guy alive
I'd fly you `round the universe
In Fireball XL5
Way out in space together
Conquerors of the skies
My heart would be a fireball, a fireball
Every time I gazed into your starry eyes

First you put your two knees
Way in tight
Then you swing it to the left
Then you sway it to the right....
Now that's what I call ballin' the jack!
"Ballin' the Jack" I don't know who, but it's a few decades old
