Gin Blossoms - Seventh Inning Stretch lyrics

Written in 1908 by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer

Katie Casey was baseball mad

had the fever and had it bad

Just to root for the home town crew

every 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 tell you what you can do..."

CHORUS

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

So 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

SECOND VERSE

Katie Casey saw all the games

knew all the players by their first names

told the umpire he was wrong

all along, good and strong

When the score was just two to two

cagey Casey knew what to do

just to cheer up the boys she knew

she made the gang sing this song

CHORUS
