Take Me Out to the Ball Game (1908): Baseball

Anthem Take me out to the ball

game, Take me out with the

crowd; Buy me some peanuts

and Cracker Jack, I don't care if I never get

back. Let me root, root, root

for the home team, If they don't win, it's a

shame. For it's one, two, three

strikes, you're out, At the old ball game.
