Carly Simon - Take Me Out to the Ball Game Lyrics

Katie Casey was baseball mad,
She had the fever and she had it bad
Just to root for the home town crew,
Every cent that Katie spent

On one 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 Jacks,
I don't care if I ever get back
'Cause it's root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win, it's a shame
'Cause it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game"

Katie Casey saw all the games,
Knew all the players by their first names
Told the umpire he was wrong all along
And she was strong

When the score was just two to two,
Katie Casey she had the clue
To cheer on the boys she knew just what to do
She made everyone sing this song:

"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks,
I do not care if I ever get back
'Cause it's root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win, it's a shame
'Cause it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game"

"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks,
I don't care if I ever get back
'Cause it's root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win, it's a shame
'Cause it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game"
