Take Me Out to the Ballgame
Take Me Out to the Ballgame is an old song from 1908, that was written by Albert Von Tilzer and Jack Norworth. The song is about baseball, and it actually has become sort of a "anthem" of American baseball. Maybe you have heard it yourself at a baseball game?
Take Me Out to the Ballgame has also been used as a nursery rhyme for years - for kids that are interested in baseballs (or maybe by dads who are... :))
Tip: "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" is perfect to sing before going to a baseball match (or maybe while driving in the car to the match...)
Take Me Out to the Ballgame - Lyrics
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 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.
