I Want-Ta Go To The Ball-Game

I Want-Ta Go To The Ball-Game

V1
Some folks want music,
And some folks want wealth,
Others want pleasure and some just want health,
But when the sun shines, and the weather is warm,
One thing I want,
And it does me no harm
V2
You may want this thing,
And you may want that,
Nothing to me sounds as good as a bat,
That slams out the old pill, for two bags or more,
Then Holy Smoke, How the old crowd will roar
Chorus
I wanta go to the ball game,
I wanta go with the crowd,
I wanta go out and see all the fun,
See 1) “OLD KING SWATTER” 2) “OLD BAMBINO” hit out a home run.
Gee, but it’s great to take your best girl,
And hear the old Umpire 1) yell, “play ball” 2) shout, “you’re out”
Don’t try to stop me, or keep me away,
‘Cause I’m goin’ to be there that’s all.

Tell Taylor
