Little Boy, in a baseball hat
|
Stands in the field with his ball and bat
|
Says I am the greatest player of them all
|
Puts his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up his ball
|
|
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
|
Swings his bat all the way around
|
The world's so still you can hear the sound
|
The baseball falls to the ground
|
|
Now the little boy doesn't say a word
|
Picks up his ball, he is undeterred
|
Says I am the greatest there has ever been
|
And he grits his teeth and he tries it again
|
|
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
|
Swings his bat all the way around
|
The world's so still you can hear the sound
|
The baseball falls to the ground
|
|
He makes no excuses, He shows no fears
|
He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers
|
|
Little boy, adjusts his hat
|
Picks up his ball, stares at his bat
|
Says I am the greatest the game is on the line
|
And he gives his all one last time
|
|
And the ball goes up like the moon so bright
|
Swings his bat with all his might
|
And the world's so still as still can be
|
And the baseball falls, and that's strike three
|
|
Now it's supper time and his mama calls
|
Little boy starts home with his bat and ball
|
Says I am the greatest that is a fact
|
But even I didn't know I could pitch like that
|
|
He says I am the greatest that is understood but even I didn't know
|
I could pitch that good.?
