Sports Analogies

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

[Josh and Nathaniel]
Sha da da dop sop top bop dabba doo dow

[Nathaniel]
We're down for the count
It's down to the wire
We can't drop the ball
We gotta aim a little higher

[Josh]
'Cause when we're on the ropes
And it's our turn at bat
We gotta throw a Hail Mary
Gotta go to the mat

[Josh and Nathaniel]
Sports analogies
Sports analogies

[Nathaniel]
We found the common ground in all men's personalities

[Josh]
We talk a big game, that's how we relate

[Josh and Nathaniel]
It's the easiest way for men to communicate

[Nathaniel]
Hike!

[Josh and Nathaniel]
Sha da da dop sop top bop dabba doo dow

[Josh]
It's par for the course

[Nathaniel]
When you're in the home stretch

[Josh]
To swing for the fences

[Nathaniel]
With a full-court press

[Josh]
We're on the one-yard line

[Nathaniel]
Inches to go

[Josh]
So you'll pitch and I'll catch

[Nathaniel]
'Cause it's our lead to blow

[Josh and Nathaniel]
Let's use more sports analogies
Sports analogies
They help men cope with life's harsh realities

[Josh]
Let's spew more cliches

[Nathaniel]
'Til we run out the clock

[Josh]
Just keep your eye on the ball

[Nathaniel]
The buck

[Josh]
And my shuttlecock

[Josh and Nathaniel]
Hey!

Sometimes when we watch sports, we get sad
And we make it seem like we're sad about the sports

[Josh]
But we're not really crying about the game at all

[Nathaniel]
Who really cares about a game of basketball?

[Josh and Nathaniel]
We're sad about our dads
We couldn't talk to our dads

Unless we used sports analogies
Sports analogies
Men feel safe with these empty generalities

[Nathaniel]
Let's go for the gold

[Josh]
And then we'll hit the lockers

[Josh and Nathaniel]
We're American men, we like all sports except for soccer
'Cause soccer's just a bunch of foreigners runnin' around
Yeah!
