Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Haydn Quartet


Katie Casey was baseball mad
Had the fever and had it bad
Just to root for the hometown crew
Every 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 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

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 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
