Little Boy, in a baseball hat

and he tosses up his ball

[Chorus]

Swings his bat all the way around

The world's so still you can hear the sound
G chordG D chordD
The baseball falls to the ground

[Verse 2]

Now the little boy doesn't say a word
A chordA G chordG D chordD
Picks up his ball, he is undeterred
D chordD
Says I am the greatest there has ever been
A chordA
And he grits his teeth
G chordG D chordD
and he tries it again

[Chorus]
A chordA
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down

The world's so still you can hear the sound
G chordG D chordD
The baseball falls to the ground

He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers

Little boy, in a baseball hat

and that's strike three

[Outro]

Now it's supper time and his mama calls
A chordA
Little boy starts home
G chordG D chordD
with his bat and ball
D chordD
Says I am the greatest that is a fact
A chordA
But even I didn't know
G chordG D chordD
I could pitch like that
D chordD
He says I am the greatest that is understood
A chordA
But even I didn't know
G chordG D chordD
I could pitch that good.
