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
