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-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 watchin it from the bench;
                                                          
You know I took some lumps when the mighty case 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.

Chorus                  repeat intro 

                                                         
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and 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 goodbye!
