I've seen the foul ball that Cubs fan almost caught (damn, I hate him)
I've seen Don Zimmer get whupped at Fenway Park (damn, I hate him)
I've seen both New York and Florida advance (damn, I hate them)
I've seen the Marlins win when they had no chance (Oh damn, I hate them)

But Boston and Chicago should never give up hope
('Cause hope springs eternal)
It's not the end of the world, so this time I hope
(Cubs and Red Sox)
From the bottom of my heart

So here's my World Series for 2004, the one that I'll be praying for
This year, when the Red Sox and Cubs meet, we will all be
Celebrating in Boston
Celebrating in Chicago
Celebrating around the whole wide world
Sosa, Nomar, Maddux, Pedro, Fenway and Wrigley
Cubs and Red Sox (World Series 2004)

I've seen the Yanks come back to beat the Sox in seven (damn, I hate them)
I've seen the Marlins come back to beat the Cubs in seven (damn, I hate them)
I've seen A-Rod choose New York over Boston (damn, I hate him)
And I've seen Clemens and Pettitte leave the Bronx for Houston (damn, still hate them!)

But Boston and Chicago should never give up hope
('Cause hope springs eternal)
It's not the end of the world, so this time I hope
(Cubs and Red Sox)
From the bottom of my heart

So here's my World Series for 2004, the one that I'll be praying for
This year, when the Red Sox and Cubs meet, we will all be
Celebrating in Boston
Celebrating in Chicago
Celebrating around the whole wide world
Sosa, Nomar, Maddux, Pedro, Fenway and Wrigley
Cubs and Red Sox (World Series 2004)

I don't care too much for Babe Ruth
And I could care even less about that stupid billy goat curse
I'm hoping on game days, I'm hoping on game nights
That the Marlins fall flat and the Yankees stumble too
I hate New York City, and I hate Miami
And I still wish Boston and Chicago were there back in '03
Don't give up hope yet, just play ball and win that pennant
(Win that pennant!)

Going, going, gone!
I don't care who wins
Just as long as they get in
From Wrigley to Fenway
There cannot be any other way

So here's my World Series for 2004, the one that I'll be praying for
This year, when the Red Sox and Cubs meet, we will all be
Celebrating in Boston
Celebrating in Chicago
Celebrating around the whole wide world
Sosa, Nomar, Maddux, Pedro, Fenway and Wrigley
Cubs and Red Sox (World Series 2004)

So here's my World Series for 2004
Cubs and Red Sox
So here's my World Series for 2004
Cubs and Red Sox
