little boy in a base ball hat
stands in the feild
with his ball and bat
player of them all
puts his bat on his sholder
and tosses up his ball
and the ball goes up and the ball comes down
swings his bat all the way around
the world so still you can hear the sound
the baseball falls to the ground
now the little boy doesn't say a word
picks up his ball he is undeterd
says i am the greatest there has ever been
and he grits his teeth
and he trys it again
and the ball goes up and the ball comes down
swings his bat all the way around
the world so still you can hear the sound
and the baseball falls to the ground
he makes no excuses
he shows no fear
he just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers
little boy he adjusts his hat
picks up his ball
stares at his bat
says i am the greatest the game is on the line
and he gives his all one last time
and the ball goes up the moon so bright
swings his bat with all his might
the world's is still still it can be
and the baseball falls
and that's strike three
now it's supper time and his mama calls
little boy starts home
with his bat and ball
says i am the greatest that is a fact
but even i didn't know
i could pitch like that
says i am the greatest that is understood
but even i didn't know
i could pitch that good
