Sometimes I think life is just a rodeo The trick is to ride and make it to the bell But there is a place, sweet as you will ever know In music and love and things you never tell You see it in their face, secrets on the telephone A time out of time, for you and no one else. Hey, let's go all over the world Rock and roll girls, rock and roll girls. 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 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. Yeah, I got it, I got it.
