But this song, 1908...

[Singing]

Katie Casey was baseball mad
Had the fever and had it bad
Just to root for the home town crew
Ev'ry sou
Katie blew
On a Saturday her young beau
Called to see if she’d like to go
To see a show, but Miss Kate said "No
I'll tеll you what you can do:"

Take me out to the ball gamе
Take me out with the crowd;
Why, 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
Listen! *click*
There it goes, it's a home run
He’s coming around the bases now
Oh, another thrill, another victory
Take me out to the ball game
What memories are the years gone by
Oh and Mike was shorter and sweeter
And the prices were lower
I really have to have a World Series
America, Japan, Cuba
That would be a World Series
Take me back to the old ball game
And the new ones to come

For it’s one, two, three strikes, you're out
At the old ball game
