Verse:
Nelly Kelly loved Base Ball games,
Knew the players,  knew all their names,
You could see her there ev'ry day,
Shout "Hurray" when they'd play.
Her boy friend by the name of Joe,
Said to Coney Isle, dear, let's go,
Then Nelly started to fret and pout,
And to him I heard her shout.
 
Chorus:
Take Me Out To The Ball Game,
Take me out to the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks,
I don't care if I ever get back,
So it's 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.
