I'm Baseball Crazy, Time's Up Play Ball

I'm Baseball Crazy, Time's Up Play Ball

V1
There’s a certain fascination for the sports of this great nation
Over baseball that’s all, you know the rest
It’s the same way ev’ry season
If we’re Crazy there’s a reason
Over baseball you’ll fall just like the rest
When we see the crowded bleachers,
That’s enough right there to teach us,
Why the small boy tells his boss his Aunt is dead
Then the boss just looks up knowing,
And he says “I’m also going, Why that game has got us Crazy in the head.”
V2
In the grandstand where it’s shady I am acting like a baby
And I’m rooting, hooting I think it’s great
When a home man swats a winner, I am yelling like a sinner,
While he’s shooting, shooting, ‘round to the plate
There never was a hero
Since the early days of Nero
Even men who fought to save the coutnry’s name
Who’d compare with this high rater,
He’s a modern gladiator,
When his wallop does the trick and wins the game
Chorus:
I’m baseball Crazy
I’m a baseball fan (man)
When I have a sweetheart I want a baseball man (fan)
Up in the Grandstand I loudly call
I’m baseball Crazy Time’s up play ball

Nellie Peters, James S. White
