  in 1908 a song was published that makes a request that is odd to me because I only sing it while I'm already there...Perhaps Sister Kat will explain....

  Gads, girl ... I really don't know.  It seems it was something to do to get the fans up to "stretch".  I for one don't really care for Cracker Jack ... I do like shellin' goobers though!

  I do know when I hear that song, I'm usually hanging out in Chavez Ravine and it tells me "it's time to go" if I want to avoid the traffic.  And lately, whenever I hear it, I think of our own Yankee Jim!  lol.

  Anyone guess what song we're talking about?

   

  PS:  My avatar is still wearing diapers ... 1 year old today!  I guess that's why her butt looks so big!

  A Wrigley Field tradition is "celebrities" singing......

  Gosh, now there IS a question SP .... suppose when it was a 'new' song might have been different.

  And DK, how can you NOT like "candy coated popcorn, peanuts, and a prize."????? (way too young to remember those ads, I am sure).  But you are right, ought to be mandatory if'n you go to a game you have to get a bag or two of the goobers.

  Have a good weekend one and all

  Tim would be awesome ... just wouldn't want that "Faith Hill" fallout afterward!

  If anyone should be acting, it's his wife, Faith.  Tim should stick to singing and struttin' around in those tight leather pants!  As a singer, top notch ... as an actor, I'd say ... don't give up your day job, Tim!

  a 'new' song

  Take me out to the Golf course , Take me out to the Lynx ,

  I dont care if its windy or not , It could even be raining a bit .

  So its Putt Putt Putt for the 3rd time , after 2 shots from the trap ,

  Then we will look for the beer cart ,  I got plenty of cash .

  4 beers please and what ever my friends want , Here is a 20 keep the change Miss ,Then its off to pee by a tree .

  I will see you all at the club house  , We will have a hot dog or 2 

  Then its back     home      to the wife and tell her I was working all day .

  Close enough for government work professor!

  Just know, I use "FOP" as a term of endearment!  The way time flies, I'm not too far behind joining the ranks of FOPsville!

  Nice lyrics, Opy!  Does one need to slur when they sing it (like "take me out to the ball game")?
