Lyrics:


Chorus: Popcorn Cracker Jacks c'mon Ichiro swing that bat! (Ichiro! Chant 4X)

Swing batter batter swing check out the skills he brings
To the table willing and able
Ichiro Japanese connection all up in your section flexin'
Flexin' fat bat how you gonna see
Opposing pitchers get spent then bent then sent
To the shower when they taste the power
Over the wall yes y'all and homerun ballin'
Pop up to right field yo it ain't no thang
Runner coming around yo it ain't no thang
Trying to steal second yo it ain't no thang
He's getting gunned down like it ain't no thang
Look in his eyes and realize seven batting titles Gold Gloves it's all love
Recognize and feel the flow you only need to say one name ICHIRO!

Chorus:

Infield single (feel the need)
Standing on first base (with the lead)
Finna steal second (got the speed)
Come across home plate (indeed)

From Tokyo to Safeco Field kept it real
Signed the contracts and closed the deal
Still got love and pride for the homeland
And the Orix back in Japan
For the 2 G + 1 (2001) new dream new team
Wasted no time to break on the scene
From the best 9 to all star status
5' 9" 160 with the fattest
Bat to swing here to bring energy
To the M's line up blowing up the enemy
Recognize and feel the flow
You only need to say one name ICHIRO!

Chorus:

Swing batter batter swing check the skills he brings
To the table willing and able
Ichiro Japanese connection all up in your section flexin'
Flexin' fat bat how you gonna see
Opposing pitchers get spent then bent then sent
To the shower when they taste the power
Over the wall yes y'all and homerun ballin'
Pop up to right field yo it ain't no thang
Runner coming around yo it ain't no thang
Trying to steal second yo it ain't no thang
He's getting gunned down like it ain't no thang
Ikimasho Ichiro (3x) feel the flow
