CENTERFIELD
John Fogerty


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. 

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. 

Yeah! I got it! I got it!! 

Got a beat-up glove, and a homemade 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. 

YEAH!
