Well, 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
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
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 Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio Don't say it ain't so, you know the time is now
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
Yeah! I got it, I got it!
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat And 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
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
