Well, beat the drum and hold the phone
The sun came out today, we're born again
There's new grass on the field
Rounding third and heading 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
Watching it from the bench
You know I took some lumps
When the might Case struck out
So say, hey Willy
Tell Ty Cobb and Joe Demasio
Don't say it ain't so, you know the time I now
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
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, you can kiss that one goodbye
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
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
