Standard (EADGBE)

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!
