Little boy
And a baseball bat
Stands in the feild
With his ball and bat
Says "I am the greatest

player of them all"
Put his bat on his shoulder
And he tosses up the ball

And the ball goes up
and the ball comes down
swings his bat all the way around
the worlds so still
he 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 worlds so still
he can hear the sound
the baseball falss
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 "Iam the greatest
the game is on the line"
and he gives his all
one last time

and the ball goes up
when the moons so bright
swings his bat with all his might
and the worlds so still
as still can be
and the baseball falls
and thats strike three

Now its suppertime
and his mama calls
little boy starts home
withe 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."
