CENTERFIELD Well, beat the drum, and hold the phone - the sun came out today! We're born again, there's new grass on the field. A-rounding third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man; Anyone can understand the way I feel. (chorus) 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, tell Ty 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.
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; (pop) It's 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, I can be centerfield.
