Take Me Out to the Ball Game
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 ever get back,
'Cause 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.
Take Me Out to the Ball Game Alternative Lyrics
Nelly Kelly loved baseball games,
Knew the players, knew all their names,
You could see her there ev'ry day,
Shout "Hurray" when they'd play.
Her boy friend by the name of Joe
Said, "To Coney Isle, dear, let's go,"
Then Nelly started to fret and pout,
And to him I heard her shout.
"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."
Nelly Kelly was sure some fan,
She would root just like any man,
Told the umpire he was wrong,
All along, good and strong.
When the score was just two to two,
Nelly Kelly knew what to do,
Just to cheer up the boys she knew,
She made the game 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."

I like it because it is cool and I like the songs from 1900's so I wanted to hear this song and also because I am a big fan of baseball including Babe Ruth! The greatest baseball player in the world! So that is why I like this song.

By Paula from United States on 4 March 2012
I have loved this song since I was a small child - because of my dad who knew everything about the game. Today, I am an educator and have found this song to be especially fun since I am teaching the poem ' Casey at the Bat'. This is my introductin to teaching the poem and I am sure my students will have some great fun singing it. As an addition - I have purchased peanuts and cracker jacks for each child (no one has allergies to any of this) and I am hoping they will have fun while we sing and then watch a short video about baseball!
