| 試合中、７回の表裏の攻守交替時に「私を野球に連れてって」（Take Me Out to the Ballgame）というこの唱歌をみんなで歌います。この歌は1908年にノーワース（作詞）、ティルツアー（作曲）によって作られました。この歌を知らないアメリカ人はいないと言うくらいポピュラーな歌です。 |

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, you're out, At the old ball game." |
ケイティー・ケイシーは野球に夢中だった かなりの熱を上げていた 地元チームを応援するために お金を使い果たしていた ある土曜日、ボーイフレンドが 映画に誘ってくれたけど ミス・ケイトは断わってしまった 私がしたいことを教えてあげましょう 私を野球に連れてって 球場の大観衆がいるところへ連れてって ピーナッツとクラッカージャックを買ってくれたら もう家に帰れなくてもかまわない さあ、ホームチームを応援しようよ もし彼らが勝たなかったら悔しいけど ワン、ツー、スリーストライクでアウト 昔ながらの野球のゲームで ケイティー・ケイシーはいつも野球を見に行った 選手たちのファーストネームまで知っていた アンパイアに抗議する彼女は 強気だった 試合は２対２の同点だった ケイティー・ケイシーには手段があった 選手たちを応援するために みんなにこの歌を歌わせた 私を野球に連れてって 球場の大観衆がいるところへ連れてって ピーナッツとクラッカージャックを買ってくれたら もう家に帰れなくてもかまわない さあ、ホームチームを応援しようよ もし彼らが勝たなかったら悔しいけど ワン、ツー、スリーストライクでアウト 昔ながらの野球のゲームで |

Nelly Kelly love baseball 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. "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." Nelly Kelly was sure some fan, She would root just like any man, Told the umpire he was wrong, All along, good and strong. When the score was just two to two, Nelly Kelly 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, you're out, At the old ball game." |
