Chorus:
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
The Tigers have 2, the Phillies have 4
2 or 4, which is more? . . . Which is less?
The Reds have 1, the Rockies have 3
1 or 3, which is more? . . . Which is less?
Repeat Chorus
The Pirates have 3 the Twins have 2
3 or 2, which is more? . . . Which is less?
The Angels have 5 the Yankees have 4
5 or 4, which is more? . . . Which is less?
Repeat Chorus
