| Cue Sheet | - OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK Mainstream
Sides face, grand square
Take me out to the ballgame
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack
And I don't care if I ever come back
All four ladies promenade, you go once around the ring
Back home swing the man and promenade
For it's one, it's two, it's three strikes you're out
At the ol' ball game
- FIGURE Basic, corner progression
1 & 3 (2 & 4) promenade go halfway around the ring
Come down the middle and do the right & left thru
Flutter wheel around the floor, then you sweep 1/4 more
Pass thru, right & left thru and turn that girl
Veer left, ferris wheel, pass thru
Swing the corner lady and promenade
For it's one, it's two, it's three strikes you're out
At the ol' ball game
- CLOSER Basic
All four ladies promenade inside the ring
Get back home, swing with that man
Join hands, circle left, circle left my friend
Left allemande the corner, weave around the ring
Where we'll root, we'll root for that home team
And if they don't win it's a shame
For it's one, it's two, it's three strikes you're out
At the ol' ball game
- TAG
At the ol' ball game!

| Lyrics | Take Me Out To The Ball Game
Katie Casey was base ball mad.
Had the fever and had it bad;
Just to root for the home town crew,
Ev'ry sou Katie blew.
On a Saturday, her young beau
Called to see if she'd like to go,
To see a show but Miss Kate said,
"No, I'll tell you what you can do."
"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."
Katie Casey saw all the games,
Knew the players by their first names;
Told the umpire he was wrong,
All along good and strong.
When the score was just two to two,
Katie Casey knew what to do,
Just to cheer up the boys she knew,
She made the gang sing this song:
"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, your out,
At the old ball game."
Composed by Albert Von Tilzer.
