Also please note that if the parts are numbered, 1st parts are always the melody while 2nd parts are always the harmony. I'm not the greatest arranger in the world, but these work well for my 5th and 6th grade beginning band students. If you are looking for piano sheet music look at parts written for other instruments such as the clarinet, trumpet, or flute as they may work well as a substitute.

The lyrics (words) to Take Me Out To The Ball Game:
The most common lyrics to the song include the chorus as shown below:
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.
There are, however, additional lyrics and verses to the song:
Katie Casey was baseball mad,
Had the fever and had it bad.
Just to root for the home town crew,
Ev'ry sou1 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:"
CHORUS
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:
CHORUS
