Kenny Rogers Lttle Boy, Basball Bat Lyrics

Lttle Boy, Basball Bat Lyrics

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's 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 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 world's so still you can hear the sound

The baseball falls to the ground



He makes no excuses, He shows no fears

He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers



Little boy, adjusts his hat

Picks up his 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 his bat with all his might

And the world's so still as still can be

And the baseball falls, and that's strike three



Now it's supper time and his mama 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



He says I am the greatest that is understood but even I didn't know 

I could pitch that good.
