I Can't Miss That Ball Game

Description

V1
“Now Jimmy Jones,” the teacher said,
You lied just yesterday!
You told me that your Ma was ill,
And home you’d have to stay.
But you went to the game instead,
And just because you lied.
just take your slate and rule,
And stay I nafter school,
Then Jimmy sobbed and cried:
V2
“Who’s going to pitch” the teacher said,
It’s Matty Jimmy cried!
And who’ss the other Baseball team”?
Chicago Jimmy sighed.
The teacher looked up at the clock,
Then crabbed his hat and fled,
He reached the gate in time,
With Jimmy close behind,
Two seats the teacher said
Chorus
I can’t misss that ballgame,
Gee, Whiz It’s going to be immense!
When the clock strikes three, I ought to be
Looking thro’ the knothole in the fence
