well beat the drum and hold the phone
the sun came out today
we’re born again there’s new grass on the field
aroundin’ third and headed for home
it’s a browneyed 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 casey struck out
so say hey willie

got a beatup glove a homemade bat and brandnew 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
pop it’sa gone
and you can tell that one goodbye
oh put me in coach
i’m ready to play today
