"I am the greatest"

little boy in his baseball hat

stands on the field with his baseball bat

player of them all

puts his bat on his shoulder

and tosses up his ball

and the ball goes up and the ball goes down

swings his bat all the way around

the world so still you can hear the sound

and the baseball falls... to the ground

now the little boy doesn't say a word

picks up the ball he is undetered

says I am the greatest there has ever been

and he grits his teeth and he tries it again

the ball goes up and the ball goes 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 cheer

little boy adjusts his hat

picks up the ball

stares at his bat

says I am the greatest the game is on the line

and he gives his all one last time

and the ball goes up like the moon so bright

swings the bat with all his might

the world is still as still can be

and the baseball falls

and thats strike three

now its supper time and his mama calls

little boy starts home with his bat and ball

says I am the greatest and 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.
