Centerfield lyrics

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 Casey 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 (yeah), 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, gotta be, centerfield

Yeah
