"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 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, your out
At the old ball game.


Chorus of the original Tin Pan Alley song.
