Hi, Gerry - somebody posted Take Me Out to the Ball Game in another thread, with verses. There are lots of songs that have nothing left but the chorus. I think sometimes that's because the verses are forgettable - or they have a tune that's difficult to remember and to sing. Many of the "old songs" of the late 19th and early 20th centuries had verses that were more of a recitative, with a tune that wasn't related to the chorus. I've tried to learn the verse tunes for some of them, but many just don't click with me.
