--- Start Of Centerfield Lyrics ---

Well I beat the drum ... and hold the phone ... the sun came out today
Were born again theres new grass on the field
Just a-roundin third and headed for home ... its a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand ... the way I feel

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

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
Dont say it aint so ... you know the time is now.

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

BREAK

Got a beat-up glove ... a homemade bat ... and brand-new 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
Its gone and you can tell that one goodbye

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

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
