John Fogerty — Centerfield

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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] 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 [Instrumental break] Yeah! I got it, I got it! [Verse 3] 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-a gone And you can tell that one goodbye! [Chorus] Oh, put me in, Coach I'm ready to play today Put me in, Coach I'm ready to play today Look at me, yeah, I can be centerfield [Chorus] Oh, put me in, Coach I'm ready to play today Put me in, Coach I'm ready to play today Look at me, gotta be centerfield Yeah
