Lyrics

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 case 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!
