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
Chorus
Yeah!
