Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all, a moment in the sun
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone, the sun came out today
You know I took some lumps when the mighty case struck out

Look at me I can be center field
Anyone can understand the way I feel
Look at me I can be center field
Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Roundin' third and headed for home it's a brown-eyed handsome man
Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine watchin' it from the bench
A homemade bat and brand-new pair of shoes
So say, "Hey Willie Taylor Cobb and Joe DiMaggio
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me I can be center field
Yeah, I got it, I got it got a beat-up glove
Look at me I can be center field
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye
Oh put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
We're born again there's new grass on the field
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Don't say it ain't so you know the time is now"
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
