Kenny Rogers
I am the greatest

Little boy In a
baseball hat
Stands in the field
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 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
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 that’s strike three

Now its suppertime
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"

Says "I am the greatest
that is understood,
but even i didn't know
I could pitch that good."
