Story about this misheard lyric by: Zotmeister I was a bit disappointed to find out I was wrong here. I always thought this was a cute little song about an overzealous kid that had an absolutely genius punchline. Guess it was just me. |

Better Lyrics:
This may sound dumb, but on the phone
The team just called to say
They picked me and I’m to go to the field.
Now roundin’ third, and headin’ for home
I’m just about out of breath,
The coach knows but the owner’s ego won’t yield.
(chorus)
‘Don’t put him in, coach,” the fans they all say. No wa-ay!
If he goes in coach, no catch will be made. Today.
We can see he just can’t play the field.
The team just called to say
They picked me and I’m to go to the field.
Now roundin’ third, and headin’ for home
I’m just about out of breath,
The coach knows but the owner’s ego won’t yield.
(chorus)
‘Don’t put him in, coach,” the fans they all say. No wa-ay!
If he goes in coach, no catch will be made. Today.
We can see he just can’t play the field.
Original Lyrics:
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We’re born again, there’s new grass on the field.
A-roundin’ third, and headed for home, it’s a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
Chorus:
Oh, put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be centerfield.
We’re born again, there’s new grass on the field.
A-roundin’ third, and headed for home, it’s a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
Chorus:
Oh, put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be centerfield.

Songs That Are Banned:
"The Old Man Down The Road"
Saul Zaentz owns both Tolkien Enterprises and Fantasy Records, which in turn owns the rights to the Creedence Clearwater Revival catalog. In the mid-'80s, former CCR frontman John Fogerty released a single called "The Old Man Down the Road," which Zaentz felt had the same chorus as CCR's "Run Through the Jungle" (also written by Fogerty). Fantasy sued, and Fogerty won, since the songs really aren't all that similar.

Song Lawsuits:
"Old Man Down The Road"
Fogerty was actually sued by Saul Zaentz, the owner to the rights of Credence Clearwater Revival songs, for plagiarizing "Run Through The Jungle"--a song which John Fogerty wrote.
