文本歌词

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 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 greatest 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 "
Says "I am the greatest that is understood
But even I didn't know I could pitch that good
