You know Willson and Rizzo and Vic Caratini
Bryant, and Hoerner, and Heyward and Bote
But when fielding the ball, There’s one player above them all…
Javy the greatest fielder, He knows where the ball will go
At second base or shortstop. Gets the runner with a throw
All of the other Cubbies, Love when Javy’s in the game
Getting the out at second, With his lightning Javy tag
Helped us win the World Series. Love to watch him play
Never lets a ball get by. Never misses a pop fly
All of Chicago loves him, And someday I guarantee
Javy the greatest fielder, Will be named the MVP!
He’ll be named the MVP!

Nobody is Coming to Town
01:12
|
|||
For the pennant, they’re not gonna try
They’ll DFA and trade a few guys.
Nobody is coming to town.
Won’t sign anyone that Cub fans’ll like
And next year they’ll probly go on strike
Nobody is coming to town.
Tom Ricketts wants a payroll
That’s lower than the Rays
But Lester, Chatwood, Schwarbs and Q
All still need to be replaced
The next few years, we’ll be in decline
No free agents are gonna get signed
Nobody is coming
Nobody is coming
Nobody is coming to town!

Everyone’s always bitching, he can’t field while he’s pitching
But it could be worse when he throws to first
Lester always flips it underhand
Every time that he throws it No one knows where it’s going
The balls in his grip but Jon’s got the Yips
Lester always flips it underhand
When the batters try their hand at bunting
Jon has trouble getting off the mound
But Anthony knows a bad throws coming
But sometimes Jon launches it in the crowd
The runner, he’ll retire if his throws aren’t on fire
Balls stuck in the mitt, Rizzo does the splits
Lester always flips it underhand
Lester always flips it underhand!

White Sox Len
02:33
|
|||
I’m screaming bout a White Sox Len
Going to do their radio
Lost Schwarber and Lester
And now Len Kasper
Man 2020 really blows
I’m screaming bout a White Sox Len
It’s revenge for Harry Caray
Now there’s no Len and JD
I blame Tom Ricketts and Marquee

The Chicago Cubs didn’t get Corona, followed protocols
Between every At Bat, they’d always put on a mask
They washed their gloves and sanitized their balls
The Chicago Cubs didn’t get Corona. No positive tests
Like St. Louis and the Cards Yadi Molina got Sars in his sticky chest
Brewers and Reds letting corona spread, and the Pirates cancelled some games
So glad Cubs weren’t like the other Clubs, they kept the Virus contained
Tommy Hottovy had it so the players were afraid
The Chicago Cubs didn’t get Corona. Zero infections
Remember 20-20 as the year they stayed healthy
Hope in ‘21
They will score more runs

Thank Theo
01:16
|
|||
Well the Cubbies did lots of winning, when Theo came to Wrigley
But that was 4 years ago. Thank Theo. Thank Theo. Thank Theo.
He made the Cubs so much better. When he signed Jonny Lester.
But he also signed Morrow. Thank Theo, Thank Theo, Thank Theo
Theo traded for Jake and Kyle, He got Strop, Rizzo and Ross
Now the team is a stinking pile, and Jed Hoyer is the boss!
Though we thank him for 20-16, the Cubs could use some fixing
But Ricketts won’t spend more dough. Thank Theo Thank Theo Thank Theo
Thank Theo Thank Theo Thank Theo

Baseball is a Business
02:27
|
|||
Baseball is a bus-i-ness Owners getting get paid
Cubs will dump some salary With a crappy trade
Ricketts is out of money Willson’s on the block
Who is Hoyer gonna move So we can restock?
Yu Darvish was great last year Maybe he will go
Kris Byrant costs 19 mill, Gotta move that dough
Schwarber and Almora gone, Didn’t get contracts
If there is one thing Ricketts hates It’s luxury tax

Catch a homer out at Wrigley Falalalalalalalala
Better give it to a kiddie Falalalalalalalala
If you don’t they’re gonna boo ya Falalalalalalalala
You don’t really want that do ya? Falalalalalalalala
Mai Tai Guy once stole a homer Falalalalalalalala
Walk off shot from Kyle Schwarber Falalalalalalalala
Left the kiddies sad and crying Falalalalalalalala
In the Bleachers there’s no fighting Falalalalalalalala
Cubs fans were so filled with anger Falalalalalalalala
Cause Mai Tai ripped off the gamer Falalalalalalala
Those are the rules of the Bleachers. Falalalalalalalala
Didn’t know? Mai Tai will teach ya. Falalalalalalalala
Falalalalalalalala.

Oh the Cubs are like the 85 Bears
Had hope for their futures But now they’ll be losers For 35 years
Oh the Cubs are like the 85 Bears
Championship Parades Once every 4 decades
For all the fans in Chicago
Bears got no Tom Brady
Cubs won’t be the Yankees
No World Series or Super Bowls
Oh the Cubs are like the 85 Bears
The McCaskeys and Ricketts Will still sell you tickets But won’t sign good players
Oh the Cubs are like the 8
Oh the Cubs are like the 8
Oh the Cubs are like the 85 Bears

Oh 53!
01:36
|

Oh 53, Oh 53. That was Buck O’ Neils Number
Oh 53, Oh 53. The Cubs have to do something
He won the medal of freedom He helped to end segregation
Oh 53, Oh 53. Cubs should retire his number
Oh 53, Oh 53. First Black coach in the majors
Oh 53, Oh 53. He brought together races
The players that Buck O’ Neil brought, were often traded like Lou Brock
Oh 53, Oh 53. An equal rights crusader.

60 Games Is Not a Season
01:44
|
|||
60 games is not a season. It really was a mess
Could have been worse, we came in first 3 Games up on the Reds
6 and 4 vs the Pirates. Who should not have been hard
A.L. Central was kind of dull. And we split with the Cards
60 Games is not a season. The offense was so bad
The way they hit was just the pits. The strikeouts made us mad.
And then we played the Marlins. Who should not have been there.
The Postseason. 2 games and done. It really wasn’t fair.

We Are Good
01:42
|
|||
We are good. The Cubs will go far
With our young and talented stars
Let’s go Cubbies. Don’t be crummy. Beat the Brewers and Cards
O, No more baserunning mistakes, more discipline at the plate
Window’s open, least I’m hoping, Our divisions not that great
We are good. We cannot be beat
Pirates suck and the Brewers cheat
Hope the Reds are not much better, I think we can compete
O, We’ve got pitching. We’ve got bats. And old Grampa Ross is back
Window’s open, least I’m hoping, really hope the Cubs aren’t crap

The One Runner Boys
01:47
|
|||
Cubs only scored one run run run run
Against Miami just one run run run run run
Homer by Ian Happ one run run run run
They really hit like crap one run run run run, run run run run, run run run run,
Cubs did nothing in the Postseason-son…...Screw the Marlins
But at least we got real drunk drunk drunk drunk
The roof across the street, got drunk drunk drunk drunk
They gave White Claws to me, got drunk drunk drunk drunk
Cost a weeks salary got drunk drunk drunk, drunk drunk drunk drunk…
What a shame the offense stunk stunk stunk stunk , season was sunk

Mai Tai Guy
02:14
|
|||
Mai Tai Guy, Mai Tai Guy Steals the ball Children cry
Walk off homer from Schwarber was wild Then Mai Tai stole a ball from a Child
He was very happy, till he saw his Twitter feed
Mai Tai Guy Mai Tai Guy Twitters pissed, don’t reply
He reached over into the basket. Elbowed out those bratty little kids
Now he’s taking the heat Jerks yell at him on the street
Mai Tai Guy Mai Tai Guy. Cubs fans don’t think it’s right
I don’t think he deserves it at all. He already gave those kids a ball
Leave poor Mai Tai in Peace. Leave Poor Mai Tai in Peace
Leave poor Mai Tai in Peace. Leave Poor Mai Tai in Peace

Happ will play in Centerfield. Almora won’t get a deal.
The platoon has gone away. Ian Happ plays everyday.
Been a Cub since 17. Podcasting from quarantine.
Lead him off or bat him eighth. Ian Happ will get on base
Happ will play in centerfield. Sign him to a long term deal

Ross's Accountability
01:30
|
|||
Ross’s Accountability. All the nonsense has to stop
There’s no more optional BP. No more Mr. Nice Grampa
Ross’s Accountability. If you go out there and stink
David’ll get nasty and mean. And he’ll tell you what he thinks
No more missing signs or sloppy fielding like last year
If they’re thrown out on the bases. Ross will get up in their faces
Ross’s Accountability. Make the Cubs Responsible
Doing their jobs out at Wrigley. Being so accountable!

All I want from Ricketts is some cheaper seats
Some cheaper seats, yeah cheaper seats
Tom Ricketts, ya gotta sell me cheaper seats

It seems so long since I could pay just 10 dollars to sit in the bleachers
Now Wrigley. With taxes and fees, Never gets any cheaper
All I want from Ricketts is some cheaper seats
Some cheaper seats, yeah cheaper seats
Tom Ricketts, ya gotta sell me cheaper seats
Miss Buying inexpensive tickets

No one sings the Anthem like Wayne Messmer
I love it when he sings it with Kathleen
John Vincent’s got lungs the size of Texas
That’s how he holds a 20 second Free
When Wayne Messmer sings the anthem There’s power in every note
While all the Cubby fans are standing
A beautiful sound comes out of Messmer’s throat
Always sings it acapella There’s no karaoke track
Wayne Messmer’s such an awesome fella
And his tone and pitch is rarely sharp or flat
No one sings the Anthem like Wayne Messmer
I love it when he sings it with Kathleen
John Vincent’s got lungs the size of Texas
That’s how he holds a 20 second Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee….
And the home of the……braaaaaeeeeeeve

The Cubs need good players
Our offense is broken
I thought we would wi-in the World Series again
Since 20-16. Nothing but frustrations
Oh Cubs why don’t you score runs
Oh Cubs why don’t you score runs
Oh Cubs why don’t you score runs
Blow up the core

No fighting in the Bleachers
What did your mama teach ya?
There is no fighting in the bleachers
So take that shit outside.
Don’t do the wave at Wrigley
Don’t act a drunken fool
Don’t get up between innings
Follow this simple rule
No fighting in the bleachers
What did your mama teach ya?
There is no fighting in the bleachers
So take that shit outside.
Please never start a cup snake
If the games close or tied
Don’t make em with runners on
In the top of the 9th
No fighting in the bleachers
What did your mama teach ya?
There is no fighting in the bleachers
So take that shit outside.

Have yourself a very Cubbie Christmas
Keep your hope alive
This year wasn’t easy but we will survive
Have yourself a very Cubbie Christmas
Throw last year away
Dream of watching baseball on some sunny day
We will all be out at Wrigley
Watching our Cubbies once more
Eating hot dogs and drinking buds
Cheering for our Cubs to score
Let’s hope this year everything gets better
Start the healing now
See you in Chicago cheering in the crowd
And have yourself a very Cubbie Christmas now
