Baseball Song
Away, away to fields of play!
What is the game we play today?
The game we name is the best of all,
From breezy Spring to glowing Fall,
Our own great game of Baseball, Baseball!
CHORUS:
A pitch, a crack, the ball flies back,
A swift despatch, a clever catch;
Quicken your pace and race for base;
You’re safe! You’re out!
Oh, hear us shout at Baseball.
Clap on a cap and come with me
And view the plate and bases three;
You’ll surely hear a stirring call
To play the game, whate’—er befall—
Our own great game of Baseball, Baseball!
(Chorus)
Of Golf or Hockey take your fill,
Play Polo, Tennis, what you will;
Seek every sport from bower to stall,
Nulli secundus, King of all
Is our great game of Baseball, Baseball!
(Chorus)
