Watch me hit a pitch out to left field
all my fellow players know I don't yield
and when I stop on second it's to snap a selfie quickly 
then I swim around the bases it's another home run

I'm Fish Summer
and I'm cooler than you
Don’t even try to argue 
cuz you know it’s true
  
I’m Fish Summer  
And you wish you were me
All the pitchers throw balls
When they look at my teeth

Careful not to get in my splash zone
It’s Moist Talker time for the league throne
And when we’re getting beaten all my shirts get eaten
Then I bring it back around with another home run

I’d apologize for all the trash talk
But I don’t know what sorry means, and I rock
And when I’m in the frier I simply swallow fire
Make the umps retire, then another home run

I'm Fish Summer
and I’ll rule over you 
The other players see me 
and they all feel blue

I’m Fish Summer
I’m a heluva catch
I hit a pitch 
And the bat snapped in half

Let’s stop for a second and assess why I’m best
I may have flunked outta school
But I pass every test
I’m taking a swim
While you’re taking a rest
I’m working the gym
And I’m perfectly dressed

I’m so pragmatic I’m amazing and magmatic I’m a blaze of fire ‘round the bases swappin tales and sharing spaces holding hope for an ascension running with the best intentions 
All - the way - from hell to halifax
Let’s take it back:  
As a kid I was scrawny fish 
but I had a dream and I had a wish
I knew that blaseball was my calling 
Starting grinding starting hauling ass 
to make my vision real 
Learned to swing and learned to steal
Now I’m hot from head to heels
My at-bats star on highlight reels

[The crowd goes wild!]
[Spoken:]
	Thank you, thank you, everyone
	Well, if you insist
	You are, just too kind

I'm Fish Summer
And I’m just that great
The crowd goes wild
When I step the plate

I’m Fish Summer
I’m the pride of the team
Tigers and Talkers,
You know what I mean

I'm Fish Summer
and I'm cooler than you
Don’t even try to argue 
cuz you know it’s true

I’m Fish Summer
And you wish you were me
Pitchers throw balls
When they look at my teeth 

I’m Fish Summer
It’s a hot fish, summer
Fish Summer
I’m Fish Summer

[Spoken:] 
Hi, my name is Fish Summer, and I am Cooler than you are.
