"Take Me Out To The Ball
Game"
Music: Albert Von Tilzer / Lyrics: Jack Norworth
Copyright © 1908 by New York Music Co.
Ka-tie Ca-sey was base-ball mad,
Had the fe-ver and had it bad;
Just to root for the home-town crew, ev-'ry sou,
Ka-tie blew.
On a Sat-ur-day 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 pea-nuts and crack-er jack,
I don't care if I ne-ver 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!
Ka-tie Ca-sey saw all the games,
Knew the play-ers by their first names;
Told the um-pi-re he was wrong all a-long,
Good and strong.
When the score was just two to two,
Ka-tie Ca-sey 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 pea-nuts and crack-er jack,
I don't care if I ne-ver 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!
