to jump upon a tennis wall,
return to me upon a call,
If I could train the ball.

I'd lend my service far and wide,
And place a ball so deep inside,
a case that's brief and in my stride
I'd teach with selfless pride.

Everyone could play the ball
like Ivan Lendl, man so tall
or maybe like my nephew, Saul,
If I could train the ball.

From what I know about the game,
Advantage 'In' would be the same,
Advantage 'Out" might take the blame,
If I could teach the game.

If I could train a tennis ball,
I'd give it to miss Arlene Dahl,
The movies then would profit all,
If I could train the ball.

Tennis wall, return on call.
Deep inside, in my stride.
Man so tall, nephew, Saul
Ad 'In' same, ad 'Out' blame.
Arlene Dahl, profit all.

Tennis, Anyone

If I could train a tennis ball,
I'd make it bigger not too small,
.....then maybe then.... I might be able to hit it???!!
