History

Ned offered Homer some tickets to watch a baseball game, but Homer refused. According to him, Flanders always ruined baseball as he added the word "Lord" at the end of every sentence of the popular song "Take Me Out to the Ball Game". Flanders and his kids then started to sing the modified version of the song.

Lyrics

Ned:

Take me out to the ball game, Lord.

Take me out with the crowd, Lord.

Rod and Todd:

Buy us some water.

And that's just fine.

Ned:

All I drink is communion wine.

For it's pray, pray, pray to our Jesus.

Rod and Todd:

If we don't win, it's His will.

Rod, Todd and Ned:

'Cause He's one, two, three Gods in one

At the baseball church

Todd:

We're at church.
