The Tennis Song Lyrics & Tabs by Cy Coleman
The Tennis Song
guitar chords lyrics
(Stone) You seem at home on the court
(Alaura) Let's say that I've played around
(Stone) Well you don't look like the sort
(Alaura) My hidden talents abound
(Stone) A competitor hasn't been found to defeat me
(Alaura) I bet you're a real good sport
(Alaura) Shall we say the ball is in your court?
(Stone) I bet you like to play rough
(Alaura) I like to work up a sweat
(Stone) And you just can't get enough
(Alaura) I'm good for more than one set
(Alaura) But I promise I'll show no regret if you beat me
(Stone) My backhand is clearly my forte
(Both) Shall we say the ball is in your court?
(Alaura) No one ever plays with me
(Stone) My backhand is clearly my forte
(Both) Shall we say the ball is in your court?
(Alaura) No one ever plays with me
(Stone) I thought your next of kin did
(Alaura) My husband never plays with me, he's to easily winded
(Stone) You leave me breathless too
(Alaura) Wait 'till our match is through
(Stone) I may like form and finesse but I warm up in a jiff
(Alaura) It's not exciting unless the competition is stiff
(Stone) I think I understand your racket, I'm not in your league
(Alaura) But you can hack it
(Stone) This game commences with love
(Alaura) Well I think love is a bore
(Stone) Let's give the tempo a shove
(Alaura) And raise the stakes a bit more
(Both) One thing I'm positive of, it's time for someone to score
(Stone) Tell me how you like to play
(Alaura) On grass or clay and every day
(Stone) Their both ok
(Alaura) But time is running short
(Alaura) Darling let's don't dilly dally
(Stone) Ready for a rousing rally
(Both) Shall we say the ball is in your court?
