There's time in each year When young and old cheer, It's always the same At the World Series ball game Listening with bated breath, Happy or grim as death, Hanging on to each run Of the favored baseball one, When whosis goes to bat, Runs, strikes and all that, The World Series crowd Yells-for crying out loudl Each fall It's just the same At the good old ball game, But at home there's q catch, When the machine starts to scratch For we lose the final shout As the batter strikes out.
