Take Me Out to the Ball Game (A Pantoum)








I love baseball
Who's on first
I don't know
Third base

Who's on first
That's what I want to find out
Third base
One base at a time

That's what I want to find out
I mean the fellow's name
One base at a time
All right, what do you want to know

I mean the fellow's name
What's on second
All right, what do you want to know
What's the guy's name on first base

What's on second
That's right
What's the guy's name on first base
Tomorrow's pitching

That's right
Gotta catcher
Tomorrow's pitching
Now you've got it

Gotta catcher
I don't know
Now you've got it
I love baseball
