|
Katie Casey was baseball mad
|
had the fever and had it bad
|
Just to root for the home town 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..."
|
CHORUS
|
Take me out to the ball game
|
take me out to the crowd
|
buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack
|
I don't care if I never get back
|
So it's 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
|
SECOND VERSE
|
Katie Casey saw all the games
|
knew all 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
|
cagey Casey knew what to do
|
just to cheer up the boys she knew
|
she made the gang sing this song
|
CHORUS
