Lyrics
Well, I beat the drum and hold the phoneThe 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 feelOh, put me in, coach, I’m ready to play todayPut me in, coach, I’m ready to play today Look at me, I can be centerfieldWell, I spent some time in the Mudville NineWatching 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 nowOh, put me in, coach, I’m ready to play todayPut me in, coach, I’m ready to play today Look at me, I can be centerfieldYeah, got it, I got itGot a beat-up glove, a home-made batAnd 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-byeOh, put me in, coach, I’m ready to play todayPut me in, coach, I’m ready to play today Look at me (yeah), I can be centerfieldOh, put me in, coach, I’m ready to play todayPut me in, coach, I’m ready to play today Look at me, gotta be, centerfield Yeah
