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:]
|
Oh, 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 Casey struck out.
|
So Say Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio;
|
Don't say "it ain't so", you know the time is now.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Yeah! I got it, I got it!
|
|
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and 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;
|
(pop) It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
Yeah!
|
