THE KNOCKERS SLOGAN.
When you're out to game which Is
coming your way.
You don't as rule have whole lot
to say;
But just let your pitcher slip up on
one throw,
The batter swings hard, gets three
sacker blow,
You yell as you stretch yourself,
ready to go,
take him out"
When the feeders are right and pull
down every ball.
You lean back and smile while in safe
hands they fall;
But just let the short let a hot one
bounce by,
Or let an outaelder muss up a good
fly,
Then up pipes Your Honor with blood
in your eye.
Take him out"
Some day you'll be summoned to
leave all this strife,
And when you have sorrowfully laid
bare your life,
Saint Peter will open his big record
book,
And over his glasses he'll give yo,
a look,
You'll quake as he says with frown
Get the hook,
/ Take him OUT"
