Lyrics
I’m a benchwarmer
Like a bee swarmer
Stinging the enemy
Sideline performer

Got the thirst I’ll be the first to give you water just holler
Holler my name who got game “not you not you”
Me and the bench one and the same
I’m warmin’ the seat clappin’ my hands
Just keepin’ the beat for my teammates takin’ the heat
Gonna get nasty real fasty got the thirst be the first to give you water

I’m a benchwarmer
Like a bee swarmer
Stinging the enemy
Sideline performer

Three ball, air ball, your call, “take a seat”
Need advice think twice before askin’ me
I’m on the seat haven’t played in three weeks
Did I say weeks I meant months yo
I’m just a grunt yo, here for fun yo

But you should see me in practice, I’m active
Using my tactics, fantastic
But put me in the game I’ll make my coach insane
Put my team to shame, that’s why I’m sayin’

I’m a benchwarmer
Like a bee swarmer
Stinging the enemy
Sideline performer

“uh oh, uh oh” I think the coach is lookin’ at me
Two minutes left and up by twenty
Can’t put you in son cause you look too funny
I’m sorry man, I’m sorry man, but hey
Get us some player-aid

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh you suck, you suck
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh you suck, you suck

High-five to my teammate, don’t hate
Too late, please let me participate – C’mon man
“uh oh, uh oh” I think the coach is lookin’ at me

One minute left and up by twenty-five
I’ll put you in son cause I’m a nice guy
Have fun man, have fun man
But hey, stop huggin’ me and play

Uh oh here we go, got the ball, going low
Pullin’ up, take a shot, got swat
Get back up, off the ground
Runnin’ down, what’s that sound
Laughin’ now, all around
“Hey clown”

I’m a benchwarmer
Like a bee swarmer
Stinging the enemy
Sideline performer
