That Baseball Rag 1913

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 03 Jul 2005

Oh Mister Fan, Oh Mister Fan
Let's be on our way
to the game today.
Oh Mister man, Oh Mister man
couldn't miss my grandma's funeral
I've got the price
I've got the price
of a bleacher seat
I will stand the treat
to the big league ball game
let's go out and holler with the fans.

Oh Oh that glidin' Base Ball Rag
Oh Oh that slidin' Base Ball Rag
some classy curves the pitcher's twirling
Go on kid send one cut a whirling
Hey! Soak it out, soak it out
Make a home run ball strike Crack!
Safe hit...
First base make second you're a bird
Don't stop until you're touching third.
Slide, slide, you've made a good beginning
for you know that your team
always makes a winning
when you play ball
and sing that Base Ball Rag.

Oh Oh that glidin' Base Ball Rag
Oh Oh that slidin' Base Ball Rag
some classy curves the pitcher's twirling
Go on kid send one cut a whirling
Hey! Soak it out, soak it out
Make a home run ball strike Crack!
Safe hit...
First base make second you're a bird
Don't stop until you're touching third.
Slide, slide, you've made a good beginning
for you know that your team
always makes a winning
when you play ball
and sing that Base Ball Rag.

Oh, what's the use
Oh, what's the use
of a worried frown
when a game's in town.
A good excuse, a good excuse
is to be a baseball maniac
Just tell the boss
Just tell the boss
you must see the "Doc"
sharp at three o'clock,
beat it to the ball park
get in line and holler with the fans.

Oh Oh that glidin' Base Ball Rag
Oh Oh that slidin' Base Ball Rag
some classy curves the pitcher's twirling
Go on kid send one cut a whirling
Hey! Soak it out, soak it out
Make a home run ball strike Crack!
Safe hit...
First base make second you're a bird
Don't stop until you're touching third.
Slide, slide, you've made a good beginning
for you know that your team
