TITLE: Miniature Soccer Team ALBUM: [UNRELEASED] MUSIC AND LYRICS: Hank Green ORIGINAL ARTISTS: Hank Green TRANSCRIPTION: Andrew Marsden I always try to balance out each upload of a well-known Hank song with a really obscure one. So here is Miniature Soccer Team. (Yes, this song is Hank writing about his sister-in-law's womb.)

A year ago today,

                                      G
My brother convinced a girl to say "I do".
And that girl was you.
    C
But Sarah, I've got to warn you,
I don't think you know just what you swore to.
       G
You'll see,
What I mean.
   F                               G
Oh nothin' in the world could ever stop John Green,

     C 
From achieving his one unmatchable dream. 

        F                        G
I don't think that he would even stop at 19.

         C                    F
He wants two entire miniature soccer teams

     C 
From you.
From your womb.
C
11 on each side;

Co-ed teams would be just fine.

   G
As long,
as you don't take long.
C
44 little tiny baby cleats
Tied onto 44 baby feets
   G
So cute.
In their little Umbro suits.
         F                              G
Well I'm glad you think that you're the luckiest girl,

   C
In Indianapolis and all of the world.

    F                      G
But I wouldn't think you'd be too keen,

   C                    F
On birthing a miniature soccer team,

    C
For him.
All for him.
C
It might sound inhumane,
It might sound like a lot of pain.
           G
Unless you opt
To adopt.
C
But John would probably just call me a cynic,
I think he's already called fertility clinics.
     G
He's serious
About this.
   F          G
Oh 22 kids is probably more

       C                        
Than a middle-class family like you can afford. 

    F                             G
But nothing in the world is gonna stop John Green,

     C                    F
From seeing his miniature soccer team,

   C
At play.
Oh, all day.
C
Sarah I have to warn you, 

                                         G
Warn you about what you've sworn to John Green,

                   C
Is a baby makin' machine.
