"Come On to the
Baseball Game" - Lyrics
Words by Will M. Hough and Frank Adams Music by Jos. E.
Howard

An umpire is a cross between
a bullfrog and a goat,
He has a mouth that's flannel lined and brass tubes in his throat;
He needs a cool and level head, that isn't hard to hit.
so when the fans beat up his frame, They'll have a nice
place to sit;
the only job that's worse, is driver on a hearse.
Refrain
How'd you like to be an umpire, work like this is
merely play,
He don't even have to ask for, All the things that come
his way,
When the crowd yells "knock his block off,"_"soak him
good" says ev'ry fan,
Then who wants to be an umpire, the brick-bats wiz,
when he gets his,
For the Umpire is a most unhappy man

How'd you like to be a mermaid,
Live below the glassy sea,
Why if you could swim like she can
What a cinch this life would be;
But suppose she took a street car,
'Spose the cable broke in two,
Then, who'd want to be a mermaid,
Gee what a shock----(Crash)
She couldn't----(Crash)
Wonder what the dickens would a mermaid do |
How'd you like to be a camel,
He don't ever mind the heat,
He has seven lovely stomachs,
They're all full of things to eat;
But he travels without drinking,
Seven days to say the least,
So who wants to be a camel,
Without a drink?----(Crash)
Well, I don't think----(crash)
For the camel is a most unhappy beast. |

Napoleon and Washington were generals of old,
Their lightest word moved regiments and armies, we are
told;
Where-ér they led men followed them, but only came for
hire,
Just think of all that gratis come, to follow the bold
umpire;
He leads them with such vim, because they're chasing
him.
Refrain
How'd you
like to be an umpire, work like this is merely play,
He don't even have to ask for, All the things that come
his way,
When the crowd yells "knock his block off,"_"soak him
good" says ev'ry fan,
Then who wants to be an umpire, the brick-bats wiz,
when he gets his,
For the Umpire is a most unhappy man |
