I thought that per -- haps the game would go on long -- er.

So I went to the kit -- chen to make me some food.

I thought that the base -- ball game would have gone on longer.

So I was a -- way when the game, __ _ it was won.

\set stanza = #"2. "

Would you have ever thought that the Cubs, they could win it?

I was pret -- ty sure that they would lose once a -- gain.

Have you have ever thought that the Cubs, they would win it?

I was pret -- ty sure that they would lose once a -- gain.

}

lyricsC = \lyricmode {

\set stanza = #"3. "

Have you ev -- er thought that perhaps the Cubs they like games?

They like to sing and dance and some -- times throw a ball.

Base -- ball it in -- volves some bats and some leat -- her gloves

I think that sounds really cool per -- haps with a leo -- tard.

}

lyricsD = \lyricmode {

\set stanza = #"4. "

Have you ev -- er thought of may -- be play -- ing more games?

Per -- haps with a diff' -- rent bat or a diff' -- rent ball?

I have real -- ly found that base -- ball can not com -- plain.

They bring lots of mo -- ney to their very wealth -- y teams.

}

lyricsE = \lyricmode {

\set stanza = #"5. "

But you know the Cubs are not the most wealth -- y team,

so it is ver -- y hard when they pick all their players.

Foot -- ball is non -- pro -- fit so they don't have that issue.

They can pick from the best when pick -- ing it is fair.

}

lyricsF = \lyricmode {

\set stanza = #"6. "

With base -- ball they're not play -- ing on a le -- vel field.

It is like the wealth -- y they get __ _ all the best.

Base -- ball it is like they're not play -- ing on a field.

It is like a mount -- ain side; some of them are blest.

}

lyricsG = \lyricmode {

\set stanza = #"7. "

Have you e -- ver thought that base -- ball could be bet -- ter

if it weren't so corp' -- rate with their mon -- eyed bet -- ters.

Have you ev -- er thought that base -- ball could be bet -- ter

if they were more so -- cial -- ist: played on the le -- vel.

}

lyricsH = \lyricmode {

\set stanza = #"7. "

I have of -- ten thought we, per -- haps, could do one, too.

We could make our -- selves a game, here __ _ with our crew.

I have quite of -- ten thought that we should play our game.

We could bring the best of bits. It would not be lame.
