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
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
watching it from the bench
you know i took some lumps
when the mighty case struck out
so say hey
willie
tyler 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 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
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
oh
put me in coach
i'm ready to play today
put me in coach
i'm ready to play today
look at me

centerfield
