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. 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. chorus
