Lyrics
- Where’s the crowd all going
Every one so glad
Everybody’s happy
Can’t find one that’s sad
Street cars they’re all crowded
Shouting (local town) name
Oh! I know just where they’ll go
Street car signs they tell me so
Direct to the Base Ball Game
The girls all say, “We’ll win today”
Oh do you think we’ll win
Why sure, Hurray
Chorus:
Oh it’s the Base Ball Base Ball game
That sets the nations heart aflame
Take your girlie along
And root, root, good and strong
We’ll win and that’s no dream
If you’re a real live Base Ball Fan
And love the best game in the land
Then root and yell and cheer
So we’ll get that pennant here
Hurray for our Base Ball Team
- Hear the bands all playing
Fans they yell ad cheer
With that kind of rooting
We’ll bring that pennant here
Umpire yells now play ball
Batters all in line
Then you’ll hear the crowd all shout
Now old boy go hit it out
Show that you’re a star and shine
No wonder, eh, the girls all say
That we will win that game today - Cleveland stands by Larry
Pittsburg by Wagner
New York roots for Muggsy
In Boston Lake brings cheers
Jennings leads the Tigers
In Washington Dear Joe
There’s Brooklyn and there’s Phillies, too
Rube Wadell for old St. Loo
To Cincinnati Griffith’s true
Then comes old Chi, but you and I
We’ll root for (local town) that’s no lie
