Take Me Out To The Ball Game by Edward Meeker Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1908

Katie Casey was baseball mad
Had the fever and had it bad
Just to root for the home town crew
Ev'ry sou
Katie blew
On a Saturday her young beau
Called to see if she'd like to go
To see a show, but Miss Kate said "No
I'll tell you what you can do:"

Take me out to the ball game
Take me out with the crowd;
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack
I don't care if I ever get back
Let me root, root, root for the home team
If they don't win, it's a shame
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out
At the old ball game

Katie Casey saw all the games
Knew the players by their first names
Told the umpire he was wrong
All along
Good and strong
When the score was just two to two
Katie Casey knew what to do
Just to cheer up the boys she knew
She made the gang sing this song:
Take me out to the ball game
Take me out with the crowd;
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack
I don't care if I ever get back
Let me root, root, root for the home team
If they don't win, it's a shame
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out
At the old ball game
