Lyrics[edit | edit source]

on the south side they wait
for shoeless joe to come outside
and say hello to them
on the north side they wait
for mordecai to come outside
and sign an autograph

somebody listen, cause nobody cares
that the black sox are playing today
somebody listen, cause nobody cares
that the cubbies are playing their hearts out

now somebody listen/cause somebody cares
that the cubbies/are winning today
i'm not much for loving
but i'm all up for dares
cause the wind is blowing cross my face
