The Baseball Glide
Words by Andrew B. Sterling, Music by Harry Von Tilzer
Verse 1: Hear that band, Hezekiah Pruyn,
In the stand striking up a tune.
Ain't it grand? Makes you want to spoon.
Fly up, high up, way up to the moon.
That's the baseball glide, it's a riot.
I can't keep quiet, I want to try it.
That's my fancy, I feel so dancy,
Honey come on right now,
Let's go through it babe, Can't you do it babe?
Listen and I'll tell you how.
Chorus: When you hear 'em 'call, "Take your place,"
Then you hit the ball, take your base.
Down to "First" you glide, by your baby's side,
Make a dash for "Second" honey, Slide! Slide! Slide! Slide!
When you're stealing "Third" steal a kiss.
Lordy, oh Lordy, I'm chock full of bliss,
One Strike (* Kiss), Two Strikes (* Kiss * Kiss),
Oh! honey, honey, hear me shout and hold me tight I'm strking out.
Where's the ball hon? Made a "home run"
That's the lovin' Baseball Glide.
Verse 2: Hold me tight, Squeeze me like a ball,
'Cause you might let your honey fall.
You're in right, love you best of all,
Wheel me, spiel me, up and down the hall.
Don't that baseball glide set you crazy.
My brain is hazy. Ain't it a daisy.
It's so tuney "Fans" all go looney.
Goodness just hear them rave.
Gee I love a band, honey hold my hand,
I can't make my feet behave.
Chorus: When you hear 'em 'call, "Take your place,"
Then you hit the ball, take your base.
Down to "First" you glide, by your baby's side,
Make a dash for "Second" honey, Slide! Slide! Slide! Slide!
When you're stealing "Third" steal a kiss.
Lordy, oh Lordy, I'm chock full of bliss,
One Strike (* Kiss), Two Strikes (* Kiss * Kiss),
Oh! honey, honey, hear me shout and hold me tight I'm strking out.
Where's the ball hon? Made a "home run"
That's the lovin' Baseball Glide.
