If You Can't Make A Hit In A Ball Game, You Can't Make A Hit With Me

Description

V1 Happy Mary Ann Mc Cann A crazy “Baseball Fan” Rooted hard for Dan Moran Dan Moran, her “Baseball man.” When he came to bat, one day, And saw her smile so gay, His Irish heart was thumping When he heard her yell “Hooray!” She loudly cried “Oh! Danny mine! A hit! And Mary Ann is thine!” Score was tie, the bases full, The crowd began to cheer; Poor Mary almost fainted When she heard these words so clear: “Strike one! Strike two! Strike three! The Batter’s out!” Then Dan heard Mary Ann in frenzy shout: V2 Mary cried “Go on, you fake! Go home! For goodness sake! Don’t believe you’re half awake! Sure! This ain’t an Irish wake!” Next man up was Joe Mc Coy, The heavy hitting boy; It hurt poor Dan when Mary shouted “That’s the boy! Oh Joy! Joe! Oh Joe! Come show your foe How far that little ball can go!” Ev’rybody on their feet And making lots of noise; While ev’ry eye was staring At that bat of Joe Mc Coy’s A crash! Fair ball! A run! The game is won! Then Mary turned to Dan and loudly sung: Chorus: “If you can’t make a hit in a Ball game, You can’t make a hit with me But the man who can hit in a ball game can be my affinity I’m simply “Baseball wild: Oh! How I yell! Slam out a home run, Kid! I’ll yell like ( ) (yell??) If you can’t make a hit in a Ball game, You can’t make a hit with me!” It’s Great at the Baseball Game Word sby George Whiting Music by Fred Fisher Copyright 1941, Fred Fisher Music Co. V Where do we go from here boys Quiet boys so you can here After we’ve had our beer boys I’ll tell you my Idea Chorus Come let’s all take a trip to the ball game gee it’s great Don’t be late Go and grab a front seat at the ball game Have some fun in the sun Get your hot buttered popcorn and peanuts say you’ll never be sorry you came You holler ‘n shout and knock yourself out Gee it’s great at the baseball game
