1. Well, beat the drum and hold the phone the sun came out today.

|G |Em7 |D |D7

We're born again; there's new grass on the field.

A roundin' third and headed for home; it's a browneyed handsome man.

Anyone can understand the way I feel.

Refr. Oh, 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.

2. Well, I spent some time in Mudville Nine, watchin' it from the beach.

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.

3. 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.

Refr.
