Miscellaneous
The Greatest
Little boy, in a baseball hat stands in the field with his ball and bat.
Says, I
am
the
greatest
player
of
them
all puts his bat on his shoulder and he 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 undeterred.
Says, I
am
the
greatest
there
has
ever
been and he grits his teeth and he tries 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, 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 and the moon so bright, swings his bat with all his might
The world's as still, as still can be, the baseball falls and that's strike three.
Now it's suppertime and his momma calls, little boy starts home with his bat and ball.
Says, I
am
the
greatest,
that
is
a
fact,
but
even
I
didnt know I could pitch like that!"
Says, "I am the greatest,that is understood, but even I didnt
know
I
could
pitch
that
good!
