Lyrics
- What is the game that everybody
Raves so much about
Baseball Baseball
What is the game that all the papers
Write so much about
Baseball Baseball
The little boys will run away from school
To see the game
Altho’ it isn’t really right you know
They’re not too blame
For when you were a little boy
You used to do the same
To go and see a game of Baseball
Rah Rah Ziz Boom Bah
Three cheers for the great old game
Chorus:
Baseball Baseball
Hear ev’rybody rooting for their nine
Score is one to one some one makes a run
He got across the home plate just in time
One Strike, Two Strikes
Another strike you’re out
Oh! What a shame
Excitement is intense
Gee! But it’s immense
When you go to a Baseball game
- Why is it little Johnny tells his boss
That he is sick
Baseball Baseball
And asks if he will let him off
To see a doctor quick
Baseball Baseball
He’s seated in the bleachers
And by chance he looks across,
The batter hits the ball a crack
And in the crowd it’s lost
Johnny makes a run for it
And bumps into the boss
The both of them ran after the Baseball
Rah Rah Ziz Boom Bah
Now Johnny isn’t working any more
