Take Me Out To the Ballgame

Daddy, please take me out to the ball game
running the bleachers, enjoying the fame 
buy me some warm peanuts and crackerjacks
let the ball fly to the outfield with a whack!

Daddy, can I go play with my friends in the field?
There are lightning bugs, and they easily yield.
I want to chase and run and twirl and spin.
I don't care about baseball, the sport or the win!
