(Norworth, Von Tilzer, 1908)
Take me out to the ball game!
Take me out with the crowd!
Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks.
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.
Aahh.
For it’s one,
Two,
Three strikes you’re out
At the old ball game!
This young reader has been spending a lot of time at the baseball field, but she still squeezes in a great book! This summer she recommends the Mercy Watson series by Kate DiCamillo, if you’d like some fantastic and hilarious reading fun.
