On the city highways down the country lanes
I have seen a million children playing at their games
As I watch those kiddies romping in the sun
I wish I could love them all like, I love the one that I call

Bill Johnson was a swatter on a Bush League nine,
Way down South in Caroline,
Pitchers looked alike to him he had the sign,
He could hit them all the time.
Hit them where they weren’t, hit them high or low,
Hit them fast, hit them…

When you want to see a baseball game
Just remember Mister Wrigley’s name
He’s got a team that’s sure got steam
The Chicago Cubs I mean
When you’ve seen Hack Wilson make a hit
And the other lads all do their bit
You’ll say it’s the cream,
A…

Murgatroyd Darcy, The belle of Canarsic, went ‘round with a fellow named Rodge
At dancing the rhumba or jitterbug number, you couldn’t beat Rodger at this dodge
Throughout the cold weather the pair danced together,
But when the trees blossomed…

Verse
Baseball time each year is just the same,
Ev’ry one who loves our national game
Gets a thrill, it gets them one and all,
When the umpire cries Play ball.
And no matter who should win the game,
We love it the same.
All our worries…

Come on you fans of Rochester,
The summer time is here,
The summer time, the baseball time,
The best time of the year,
For we have won three pennants,
But you bet that won’t be all,
We’re going to have our fourth one,
When the season…

A little story that I want to tell
About a certain band that you know well
An aggregation down in Michigan wit ha leader man by the name of Ben
They started jazzin’ back in ninety two and entertained the folks with music blue
No one has ideas…
Rather brightly
O’er the railroad tracks
O’er the railroad tracks
Come the Gas House fellows
H’er the railroad tracks
In the railroad hacks
In the railroad hacks
Like the Barnum Show and all the circus acts
Hear the bleachers wildly…

And crowned with a distinction that is rare
Honors will not let them put away

Hail men of Fordham hail

In strong array
Once more the old maroon
Wave on high
And sing our battle song
We do or die
Let us cheer wit ha ram! ram! ram for loyalty.
And again with a…

Madelaine Mooney for baseball was looney
She’d rush to the game ev’ry day,
She’d root like a rooter if things didn’t suit her,
‘Twas awful the things she would say,
Now Bill was her steady, and when he got ready,
To lift up a few to the…

Just across the bridge from New York City
There’s a great big village quaint and pretty
It’s where that famous tree grows
And the home of many heroes
Why, there’s not a finer place on earth
And so I’d like to know

Last spring we heard some ball fans brag
That the Cards had no chance for the flag
But they cantered along at a merry old gait
And always near top for a rally did wait
When the time came a long came the Braves
Like a good ship gliding o’er…

I’m a modern Apollo, a big Irishman,
You should see me when playing base bal
You can hear it for miles as they shout “there’s McCann,”
When I step to the base for a fall
Then I brace up and look at the man in the box,
As I make a big swipe…

I’ve got a good reason why I’m feelin’ so good
