Centerfield

Well, I beat the drum and hold the phoneThe sun came out todayWe're born again, there's new grass on the fieldA-roundin' third, I'm headed for homeIt's a brown-eyed handsome manAnyone can understand the way I feel

Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play todayPut me in coach, I'm ready to play todayLook at me, I can be centerfield

Well, I spent some time in the Mudville NineWatching it from the benchYou know I took some lumpsWhen the Mighty Casey struck outSo say, "Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio"Don't say it ain't so you know the time is now

So put me in coach, I'm ready to play todayPut me in coach, I'm ready to play todayLook at me, I can be centerfield

You got a beat up glove, a homemade batAnd a brand new pair of shoesYou know I think it's time to give this game a rideJust to hit the ball an' touch 'em all a moment in the sunIt's-a gone and you can tell that one goodbye

Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play todayPut me in coach, I'm ready to play todayLook at me, I can be centerfield

Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play todayPut me in coach, I'm ready to play todayLook at me, gotta be centerfieldYeah
