Take Me Out To The Ball Game Page #5

...if you'll pardon the expression,

and the sweetest pair of...

Look. We're plastered all over the paper.

Pretty nice.

O'Brien To Ryan To Goldberg

What does it say?

- Shall we tell them?

- Shall we?

By all means.

"O'Brien

- "To Ryan

- "To Goldberg

"What a great double play!

"The other team never can get to score

- "In every inning

- "We keep them from winning

"Each time that they try for a rally

"That's when we save the day

"Someone's on first

and the game is in doubt

"The guy up at bat hits a terrible clout

"The dust clears away

and they're both of them out

- "O'Brien

- "To Ryan

"To Goldberg

- "O'Brien

- "To Ryan

"To Goldberg

"Packs them into the park

"The crowds in the bleachers

Are there at dawn

"They treat us royal

Gee-whiz, but they're loyal

"One game lasted 17 innings

"It was way after dark

"We couldn't see a darn thing anymore

"We thought the crowd

had gone home good and sore

"Then out of the back

came a deafening roar!

"O'Brien to Ryan to Goldberg!

"Who is the guy who scoops up the ball

"And whips it to second base?

"O'Brien

"And who is the guy

who stands on the pill

"To first at an awful pace?

"Ryan

"And who is the guy

who tags them at first

"With a pitying look on his face?

"Mrs. Goldberg's baby boy

"Goldberg, Goldberg

That's the word for us

"My mother always wanted me

to play the violin

"That dainty little instrument

just didn't fit my chin

"The night of my recital

"I played Ich Liebe Dich

"When suddenly a voice rang out:

"'Throw that cat a fish! '

"And then a ripe tomato

was hurled in rude attack

"I swung my fiddle wildly

and batted it right back

"That moment started off my new career

"And now the sweetest music do I hear is

"O'Brien to Ryan to Goldberg

"What they all come to see

"Shortstop to second and then to first

"Just one, two, tree, the unholy trio

"The way that we move on the diamond

"It is sheer poetry

"Winning the games

from the spring to the fall

"It's just all for one

and it's just one for all

"The Three Musketeers

of the bat and the ball

"O'Brien

"To Ryan

"To Goldberg"

- How about a game of checkers?

- Checkers? That's for firemen.

For ballplayers too,

if you know what's good for you.

I know what's good for me.

Don't lock the door. I'll be in around 2:00.

What's the fine for breaking training?

$25. Why?

Let's make it $50, shall we?

The little dears do need their rest,

you know.

How much money have you got?

Well, in round figures, exactly 38 cents.

And you?

Checkers.

I didn't say nothing.

- That's a quarter you owe me.

- This could go on all season.

- What's eating him, anyway?

- The call of the wild, junior.
