I Didn't Come Here for a Haircut 03:31

My name is John Lackey and I pitch for the Cubbies And I didn’t come here for a haircut, I came for Jewelry And every night I dream about wearing cammoflage and gold When we win the World Series that crazy night in Chicago I’ll wear Diamond Studded earrings emblazoned with a Cubby C I’ll get Ernie Banks embossed in gold and silver on my teeth I’ll platinum plate my cowboy boots so that everyone can see That I didn’t come here for a haircut, I came for Jewelry No I didn’t come here for a haircut, I came for jewelry I’m here to be a champion and win the World Series Don’t worry bout my hairdo, it looks just fine to me Cause I didn’t come here for a haircut, I came for jewelry Golden necklace medallion of good old Harry Caray Shiny Red, Blue bracelet made of sapphires and rubies But The ring upon my finger, it glitters and it gleems And says Cubs World Series Champions of 2016 No, I didn’t come here for a haircut, I came for jewelry I’m here to be a champion and win the World Series So don’t worry bout my hairdo, it looks just fine to me Cause I didn’t come here for a haircut, I came…. I didn’t come here for a haircut, I came for jewelry I’m here to be a champion and win the World Series So don’t worry bout my hairdo, it looks just fine to me Cause I didn’t come here for a haircut, I came for jewelry

Cubs Time Machine 04:28

I had a vision. I had a vision just the other day That I traveled back to 1908 The last year the Cubbies went all the way…. Made a decision that I never want to come back again. I’ll miss you all but this place is heaven Cause here the Cubbies are the Champions And I’m not getting back in that time machine Saying goodbye to my old life staring at a screen Unless the best damn team I’ve ever seen Can finally win it all in 2016 West Side Admission to see the game’s a dollar fifty cents Good thing I left some money in my pants Now I’m watching Tinkers Evers and Chance Overalls Pitchin’. Damn! I had hoped to see 3 Finger Brown Knows how to throw and mow the batters down At least I can afford the tickets now. And I’m not getting back in that time machine I’ll drive a Model T Ford on 10 cent gasoline Unless the best damn team I’ve ever seen Can finally win it all in 2016 I am not kidding. Don’t bother coming here looking for me I’m as a happy as a Cubs fan could be Watching Chicago win the World Series I’m not getting back in that time machine I’ll root for Ed Reulbach and Johnny Kling Unless the best damn team I’ve ever seen Can finally win it all in 2016 And I’m not getting back in that time machine Here they don’t call it a trough, they call it a latrine Unless the best damn team I’ve ever seen Can finally win it all in 2016 I ain’t going back….

The Ballad of John Baker 03:17
lyrics

The Night the Backup Catcher Got the Win The night the backup catcher got the win. I showed down at Wrigley with a belly full of gin. I knew it would be a long one, Edwin Jackson was pitchin’ The night the backup catcher got the win. Edwin Jackson only lasted four. The game was tied for 12 more innings, nobody could score. We went to Captain Morgan’s cause we wanted to drink more. The night the backup catcher got the win. It was the night the backup catcher got the win (got the win) It was the night the backup catcher got the win (got the win) Sat in the upper deck with 3 of my best friends. The night the backup catcher got the win. We went just outside to have a smoke But as we stood beyond the gates, Captain Morgan’s closed We got left outside and we couldn’t get back in. The night the backup catcher got the win. Three sheets to the wind and overserved We couldn’t get back to our seats in upper deck reserved. So we watched a game from a bar on Addison The night the backup catcher got the win. It was the night the backup catcher got the win (got the win) It was the night the backup catcher got the win (got the win) Got sick outside of Wrigley from mixing beer and gin The night the backup catcher got the win. John Baker finally won it in 16 On the most exciting Sac Fly this baseball fan has seen But I sorta missed it, I was drunk as Charlie Sheen The night the backup catcher got the win. It was the night the backup catcher got the win (got the win) It was the night the backup catcher got the win (got the win) They threatened us with handcuffs when we tried to sneak back in The night the backup catcher got the win. (got the win) It was the night the backup catcher got the win

Hey Castro… I was watching twitter on my stupid phone Saw the Cubs traded Castro He won’t be playing here in Chicago out the door they said The Cubs lost their favorite teammate No more clapping walkups coming to the plate Gone to the Yankees, for Warren and Brendan Ryan There's a Starlin waving us goodbye He doesn’t wanna leave us And Cub fans are asking why There's a Starlin waving us goodbye I can’t believe he’s going Gonna miss his goofy smile On TV I don’t wanna lose him But the Cubs can’t use him Enjoy the New York Yankees I’ll always picture him when he’s turnin’ two The way he’d bat and fielded and threw Cept when he’s sleeping, he would let that stupid ball get through But when he came up he was dynamite Made it look easy, was never uptight But now he’s getting on a plane to New York tonight There's a Starlin waving us goodbye He doesn’t wanna leave us And Cub fans are asking why There's a Starlin waving us goodbye I can’t believe he’s going Gonna miss his goofy smile On TV I don’t wanna lose him But the Cubs can’t use him Enjoy the New York Yankees Starlin waving us goodbye He doesn’t wanna leave us And Cub fans are asking why There's a Starlin waving us goodbye I can’t believe he’s going Gonna miss his goofy smile On TV I don’t wanna lose him But the Cubs can’t use him Enjoy the New York Yankees

Have yourself a very Cubbie Christmas. Kiss the curse goodbye. Sing the song and let your W flags fly Have yourself a very Cubbie Christmas We went all the way. Won it in the 10th after a rain delay! All those years that we had to wait One hundred and eight. No more! Though the Indians tied it up, we tried not to suck and scored. Jon Lester, Hendricks and Arrieta, really mowed em down. Brought the trophy back to the North Side of town. So have yourself a very Cubbie Christmas now.

It looked bad for the Cubs We were down 3 to 1 But this year was our year, Took a long time to come Took Game five at Wrigley Headed back to Cleveland Cause this year was our year took a long time to come And I won't forget how you came back While rain was falling down The Championship. What Heyward said in the locker room Gave you the strength to play on Now we're there and we've only just begun Cause this year was our year, Took a long time to come In the top of the 10th The Cubbies scored two runs And this year was our year, took a long time to come No more billy-goat curses Or blaming Bartman 'Cause this year was our year, Took a long time to come And I won't forget how you came back While rain was falling down The Championship. What Heyward said in the locker room Gave you the strength to play on Now we're there and we’ve only just begun This year was our year, Took a long time to come And we’ve only just begun 'Cause next year is our year... yeah, we don't just want one
