A female MLS pitcher is sent to Kelly's Bar to bartend. She throws the drinks around and at warp speed. She's involved in pickles, and serves peanuts and popcorn, as well.

Lyrics
Hey have you seen the new bartender
The new barschool decided to send her
She?ll throw a bottle from here to there
And make a boilermaker right in midair
She keeps her shoulder on ice so she?s really cool
She?s the new bartender straight out of school
Hey have you seen the new bartender
She used to be a pitcher in the open ender
She?ll throw a high ball at the speed of light
If you can order today you can drink it last night
Ask her for a pickle she?ll throw you out, fool
She?s the new bartender straight out of scl
Hey bartender [HEY BATTER, BATTER!]
Hey bartender [HEY BATTER, BATTER!]
Hey bartender throw one over here
Hey if you?ve seen the new bartender
Give her a message from the peanut vendor
A big misunderstanding has you on a lark
You were meant 2 go 2 Fenway not 2 Kelly Park
We need you in the ninth so here?s the plan
While he?s playin? the piano run as fast as you can
Hey bartender [HEY BATTER, BATTER!]
Hey bartender [HEY BATTER, BATTER!]
Hey bartender peanuts, popcorn, beer here
Hey bartender [HEY BATTER, BATTER!]
Hey bartender [HEY BATTER, BATTER!]
Hey bartender throw one over here
