Description

Take me out to the ballgame,
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 ballgame.
Jack Nortworth 1908
