DAN FOLGELBERG Centerfold

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 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.

Chorus

Yeah! I got it, I got it!

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;
It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

Chorus

Chorus

Yeah!
