The Cubs they won their game

and I think that is __ _ real -- ly cool.

They played so hard and they

fi -- nal -- ly won that game with their wood.

They wacked that ball so hard

it real -- ly took off you know.

They ran the bas -- es like -- wise

and soon they were on to home.

}

But Cub -- bies they fre -- quent -- ly lose

e -- ven though they try their best.

We were sur -- prised when they act -- ual -- ly

won the __ _ ti -- tle jest.

The Cubs they did win the game

though we were quite sur -- prised.

They won it by a hair or more

but I don't frank -- ly spy.

I thought it would be in -- ter -- est -- ing to write a base -- ball song

but I don't know much a -- bout the sport so I just ram -- ble on.

The sport it does con -- tain bats and gloves of that I'm sure.

But I don't know the com -- pos -- i -- tion of gloves or the wood.

}

lyricsD = \lyricmode {

\set stanza = #"4. "

I thought you might like to know that peo -- ple of -- ten play the game.

And ev -- en more peo -- ple they watch as oth -- ers __ _ do the same.

I thought might be in -- t'res -- ting so I tried watch -- ing once.

I fell a -- sleep at half time and then I fell off the couch.

}

lyricsE = \lyricmode {

\set stanza = #"5. "

I thought I would try a -- gain

but I drank too much that time.

I spent all my time in the bath -- room

I guess there was a line.

That is how it goes when too ma -- ny

people need to go.

They queue up and down the aisles

and put on, real -- ly, quite a show.
