One morning I woke up, snug in my bed
With last inning homerun dreams in my head
When my mother yelled "Peter, your coach is outside.
Hurry or you'll miss your ride."
Chorus:
I forgot, I forgot
I forget to remember a lot
I forgot, I forgot
Though I try to be perfect, I'm not.
When I got to the game, I had my glove and my bat
My spikes and my uniform, even my hat
I was so proud and pleased that I'd remembered them all
When my coach said to me "Where's the ball?!?" Chorus
At the end of the game with the score still a tie
I went up to bat and I hit a long fly
I stood there smiling when I saw what I'd done
I stood there till my coach yelled "Run!" Chorus
After the game, there were some guys from TV
Looking to get just a few words from me
They said "Ladies and gents, here's the star of the game.
Please tell the whole world your name." Chorus
Every person you've ever met
Has a time they forgot that they'd like to forget
To err is human, forgive divine
I'm human all of the time. Chorus
