Well at Wrigley Field, Chicago,
The Cubs have a lot of fans.
And next year when they play
They'd better stay away
From a fan named Steve Bartman.

Now these Cubs have had trouble,
You see it just kept getting worse.
All the sports talk experts called it "big game choking."
All the fans just called it "curse."

(Chorus)
They've got the billy goat curse,
Vilest curse in the universe,
Stronger than a voodoo hex,
And more painful than Kobe's sex.

But these Cubs made the playoffs
And they finished off the Braves.
And their thoughts turned to World Series rings
'Cause they were everybody's faves!
Against the Marlins, they looked awesome.
They went up three games to two.
They had no cause for alarm with Mark Pryor's right arm
And the home field advantage, too.

(Chorus)

Now the Cubbies had a safe lead,
Pryor had good stuff.
And up for the Marlins
Was a guy named Castillo,
And oo - that guy looked tough.
But Castillo hit a foul ball
Into Chicago's mystique
And these Cub fans learned a lesson
'Bout messin' with the goat of an angry Greek.

(Chorus)

Alou thought he'd catch that foul ball,
And when he bounced off of the wall,
He looked just like a jack-in-the-box,
Because Steve Bartman took the ball!

And it's bad, bad Steve Bartman,
More infamous than the Taliban,
More stained than that blue dress,
And less loved than the IRS.

And it's bad, bad Steve Bartman,
More infamous than the Taliban,
More stained than that blue dress,
And less loved than the IRS.

Yeah, he'll be more stained than that blue dress,
And less loved than the IRS.
