[Verse 1] Well, beat the drum and hold the phone The sun came out today Were born again, theres new grass on the field Aroundin third, and headed for home Its a browneyed handsome man Anyone can understand the way I feel [Chorus] Oh, put me in, Coach Im ready to play today Put me in, Coach Im ready to play today Look at me, I can be centerfield [Verse 2] 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 Tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio Dont say it aint so You know the time is now [Chorus] Oh, put me in, Coach Im ready to play today Put me in, Coach Im ready to play today Look at me, I can be centerfield [Instrumental break] Yeah! I got it, I got it! [Verse 3] Got a beatup glove, a homemade bat, and brandnew pair of shoes You know I think its time to give this game a ride Just to hit the ball and touch em all A moment in the sun Pop Itsa gone And you can tell that one goodbye! [Chorus] Oh, put me in, Coach Im ready to play today Put me in, Coach Im ready to play today Look at me, yeah, I can be centerfield [Chorus] Oh, put me in, Coach Im ready to play today Put me in, Coach Im ready to play today Look at me, gotta be centerfield Yeah
