Verse 1: Oh Mister Fan, Oh Mister Fan,
Let's be on our way, To the game today.
Oh Mister man, Oh Mister man,
Couldn't miss my grandma's funeral.
I've got the price, I've got the price,
Of a bleacher seat, I will stand the treat,
To the big league ball game.
Let's go out and holler with the fans.

Chorus 1: Oh, oh, that Glidin' Base Ball Rag,
(Spoken:) (See the pitcher throwing. Strike 'em out you've got 'em going.)
Oh, oh, that Slidin' Base Ball Rag,
(Spoken:) (Don't you be a quitter, Show 'em you're a heavy hitter.)
Some classy curves the pitcher's twirling,
Go on Kid send one out a-whirling.
Hey! Soak it out, soak it out, Make a home run Ball; strike; (Crack) Safe hit.
First base make second you're a bird.
(Spoken:) (Keep a going sonny, Make me win a lot of money.)
Don't stop until you're touching third.

Slide, slide, you've made a good beginning,
For you know that your team always makes a winning
When you play ball, and sing that Base Ball Rag.

Verse 2: Oh, what's the use, Oh, what's the use,
Of a worried frown, When a game's in town.
A good excuse, A good excuse,
Is to be a baseball maniac.
Just tell the boss, Just tell the boss,
You must see the "Doc", Sharp at three o'-clock.
Beat it to the ball park.
Get in line and holler with the fans.
Of a worried frown, When a game's in town.
