Description
Let’s all sing THE BASEBALL POLKA,
Batter up, batter up,
Play ball!
Let’s all sing THE BASEBALL POLKA,
It’s the game that I love the best of all.
How I love to listen to the cheers,
When they yell “Kill the umpire”
It’s music to my ears,
So let’s sing THE BASEBALL POLKA,
Batter up!
Play ball!
Trio:
Ball one!
Ball two!
The pitcher’s getting wild!
Ball three!
Oh, gee!
The batter’s got him riled.
Strike one!
Strike two!
The crowd is getting tense.
He knows the ball to serve,
Here comes is famous curve (smack)
Home run! It’s over the fence! Hooray!
Let’s all sing…..
Final: “Batter up!, Play ball!
Batter up, batter up,
Play ball!
Let’s all sing THE BASEBALL POLKA,
It’s the game that I love the best of all.
How I love to listen to the cheers,
When they yell “Kill the umpire”
