Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Song of the Month · 2015

Lyrics

Take me out with the crowd;
Just buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never 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.

Fun facts you may not know about this song:
Jack Norworth, who wrote the lyrics, didn't play ba seball
and had never attended a game. But he know a song a bout
baseball would be a hit, and it was!

This song originally had several verses about Kate Casey,
whose date wanted to take her to a show. She asked to go
to a baseball game instead.
