Intro
Well beat the drum and hold the phone
The sun came out today
We're born again there's new grass on the field
A-'roundin' third and headed for home
It's a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
Chorus
Put me in Coach I'm ready to play today
Put me in Coach I'm ready to play today
Look at me I can be Centerfield
Well I spent some time in the Mudville Nine
Watchin' it from the bench
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Case struck out
So Say Hey Willie tell the Cobb
And Joe DiMaggio Don't say it ain't so
You know the time is now.
Chorus
---- intro
Got a beat-up glove a homemade bat And a brand new pair of shoes
You know I think it's time To give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all A moment in the sun
It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye.
