a-beat the drum and hold the phone
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
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
and a brand new pair of shoes
you know i think it's time to give this game a ride
it's a-gone and you can tell that one good-bye
