There was once a team of renegades,
That were pretty off the wall,
They had a pool cleaning, drunken coach,
To teach them how to play some ball.

First they got off to a bad start,
and they didn't seem to care,
You might think they're screwballs,
That ain't going nowhere,
And I'll tell you who they are,
They're The Bad News Bears.

They're The Bad News Bears.

They wear yellow, black and white uniforms,
Sponsored by "Chico's Bail Bonds"
There striking out in most of the games,
All but seven of them are blondes.

They got their ass kicked in the first game.
Buttermaker forfeited it to the team's despair.
They may have looked like quitters,
And nothing can compare,
To the worst playing you've ever seen
They are The Bad News Bears.

They are The Bad News Bears. x 2

The visiting team always gets to shout,
"Who do we appreciate?"
and the ones who struck the most out,
Still have yet to play.

You see them on the freeway,
Heading toward the Houston Astrodome.
But they might as well forfeit,
The visitor team has got the game won.

They're like a bad penny,
They'll turn up anywhere,
It's bad news North Valley!
It's The Bad News Bears.

They are The Bad News Bears. x 2

(Imitating umpire:) I'M OUTTA HERE!!
