Centerfield - John Fogerty

Well-a, 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)

Ooohh --

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

Watching it from the bench

You know I took some lumps, when the mighty Case struck out

So "Say Hey" Willie, tell the 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 home-made 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

It's-a gone and you can tell that one good-bye

CHORUS

CHORUS (modified)

Ooohh --

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!
