Base Ball Song

Base Ball Song

1) Jimmy liked to play base ball,
And catch it on the fly,
(others) And catch it on the fly.
But much to his surprise one day
He caught it in the eye,
(others) He caught it in the eye.
2) He was proud behind the bat,
Sometimes to play or pose,
(others) Sometimes to play or pose)
But not so proud when one fine day
He was knocked upon his nose
(others) Was knocked upon his nose.
3) Once he hit the ball so hard
He thought to make 3rd base,
(others) He thought to make 3rd base.
He run so fast he could not stop.
Till he fell upon his face
(others) He fell upon his face.
Refrain:
Base ball! Base ball!
How I love to play base ball!
Base ball! Base ball! Oh!
Ho I love to play base ball.
