Little boy in a baseball hat stands in the field with his ball and batSays, "I am the greatest player of them all"Puts his bat in his shoulder and he tosses up his ball.And the ball goes up and the ball comes down,Swings his bat all the way aroundThe 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 that there has ever been"And he grits his teeth and he tries again.And the ball goes up and the ball comes down,Swings his bat all the way aroundThe world so still you can hear the sound, the baseball falls to the ground.He makes no excuses he shows no fearHe just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers.Little boy he adjusts his hat, picks up his ball, stares at his batSays "I am the greates when the game is on the line"And he gives his all one last time.And the ball goes up and the moon so brightSwings his bat with all his mightThe world's as still as still can be, the baseball fallsAnd 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 didn't know I could pitch like that!"Says, "I am the greatest, that is understood,
