-'roundin' third and headed for home

It's a brown-eyed handsome man

Anyone can understand the way I feel.

chorus

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 -----

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.
