Original Broadway Cast of Allegiance - Get in the Game lyrics

[KEI & SAM] Get all this cleaned up What's the point? The next storm will bury us again I've started a petition for the camp administrators You mean wardens I've got a list of requests to make life better here Now, what do you want? It's already cold in here: We need blankets We need medicine I've got a mattress full of fleas Can your petition fix that? They brought us here Forgot about us Then left us to rot That's not gonna happen Yeah, we're at war with Italy But nobody's putting Joe DiMaggio in a camp Look, I understand [SAM] Hey! You got a complaint? Put it here Just sign this And remind the folks in charge There are people here We must appear united If you want aspirin Or bedding without fleas Or not to freeze Then get organized with me As a team, we'll get it done We're not nearly finished here We have only just begun So, sign this! [SAM] It's time we got in the game We just gotta get in Gotta get in Gotta get in the Gotta get in the game [SAM] We can't sit on the sidelines Look, I'm sayin' that we [SUNG] Gotta get in Gotta get in the Gotta get in the game [SAM & KEI] We're stuck Who knows how long And sure it's wrong Alone it's really hard But as a team we're strong [SAM] There's no use placing blame [SAM & KEI] We've just gotta get in the game [SAM] It's more than just the basics We have to find a way to make life liveable here No, enjoyable Oh, fun even This is not summercamp We have to find something we can all do together; Something that we all like Mrs. Tanaka, what is it that you miss most about home? [SAM & KEI] Garden! Back home, I have so many flowers And vegetable! Judo! That's against the rules No Oriental crap allowed, remember? That's why we're petitioning What else? Dancing! We could use the Mess Hall Yeah, jazz it up! Woo! Sumo! We need something we can all do We need Buddhist Temple We need Frank Sinatra records! [Everyone speaking over each other] Hey, listen up! What about baseball? Ah… [Chorus] Gotta get in Gotta get in Gotta get Gotta get in Gotta get in Gotta get Gotta get in the game! [SAM & KEI] It's a beautiful day for baseball here Block 13 up at bat Gotta get in The bases full loaded And two outs is where we're at Gotta get in Gotta get in Gotta get in the game! Strike one! Gotta get in Gotta get in the game! Strike two! [SAM & KEI] Tzo's at the plate! (Tzo's at the plate!) Hands up high! (Hands up high!) Eyes on the ball! (Eyes on the ball!) Not to the sky! (Not to the sky!) Now everyone get Home run That's how we win! [Chorus] So we gotta get in (Gotta get in, gotta get in) Gotta in the game! We're sayin' that we gotta get in (Gotta get in, gotta get in) Gotta get in the game! We're stuck Who knows how long And sure it's wrong Alone it's really hard But as a team we're strong It's no big, crazy claim It's time we overcame And got back in the game! Gotta get in the game!
