Lyrics
-
Well-a, 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)
Ooohh --
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 mighty Case struck out
So say "Hey Willy", tell the 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 home-made 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-a gone and you can tell that one good-bye
CHORUS
CHORUS (modified)
Ooohh --
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me, gotta be, Centerfield
Yeah!
