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 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 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
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 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 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 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 didn't know
I could pitch like that
