Years ago, my aunt Janie Thompson wrote an alternate chorus to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" for Football Fans. It goes:
Take me out to the Ballgame
Take me out with the crowd.
There on the green is the football team.
There's the kick-off, the crowd gives a scream.
Let me root, root, root for the home team.
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's 1,2,3,4 downs and 10 yards to go
At the Football game!
Then for a specialty number, once, I wrote two alternate verses. The song became a "Baseball vs. Football friendly Fan Rivalry" song. It was a hit with the boys in our show. They said that they could sing it now practically year-round! Maybe I need to come up with verses about BASKETBALL and SOCCER now!
