April 30, 200421 yr I remember grabbing these off of various posts on the ESPN boards last year right after the Cubs got knocked out. I was writing a paper last night and stumbled across then in a folder so i figured i'd share. You may have heard them before though. South Side Irish Written by Black, McEldowney & Walsh We're the Windy City Irish-where the crack is always best Where every day is Paddy's Day and everyone's a guest If you're Irish on the North Side or Irish on the West Welcome to the South Side come join the Irish Fest! ****************************** Chorus We're the South Side Irish as our fathers were before We come from the Windy City and we're Irish to the core From Bridgeport to Beverly from Midway to South Shore We're the South Side Irish-Let's sing it out once more! ******************************* Our parents came from Mayo, from Cork and Donegal. We come from Sabina, St. Kilian's and St. Gall St. Leo, Visitation, Little Flower and the rest. The South Side parishes are mighty-they're the best! Chorus We live on the South Side-Mayor Daley lived here too The Greatest Irish Leader that Chicago ever knew and he was always proud of his South Side Irish roots! So here's to His Honor to his memory we'll be true. Chorus We sing the songs our fathers sang when they were growing up Rebel songs of Erin's Isle in the South Side Irish Pubs and when it comes to baseball-we have two favorite clubs The Go-Go White Sox... and whoever plays the Cubs! Cubs New7th Inning Stretch Song (Sung to the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Steve Bartman... via satellite, of course) Escort me out of the ballgame... Protect me from the crowd Throw beer and peanuts and crackerjacks I'm dead meat if I ever come back Now I can't root root root for the Cubbies They didn't win, I'm to blame... They lost one, two, three in a row And went down in flames!!! You're To Blame (sung to "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon) You reached out for the foul ball As if you thought you might have a shot Your cap strategically pulled down to your eyes Your headphones broadcast the plot You had one hand on the baseball As you thought you had it caught And all the fans screamed that they'd like to kill you They'd like to kill you, and You're to blame You probably think this game is about you You're to blame I'll bet you think this game is about you Don't you? Don't you? I heard "The Curse" some years ago When I was still quite naive Well, they said that this might fine'ly be the year And that the Cubbies could achieve But you gave away our life-long dreams I'll pelt you when you leave I had big dreams of the Cubs in the Series Cubs in the Series, and You're to blame You probably think this game is about you You're to blame I'll bet you think this game is about you Don't you? Don't you? I had big dreams of the Cubs in the Series Cubs in the Series, and You're to blame You probably think this game is about you You're to blame I'll bet you think this game is about you Don't you? Don't you? Well, I hear you work downtown in business And you're twenty-six years now The media gives me all the details I need To make sure you're run out of town Well, you're everywhere on TV news And when you're not, you're in Some dark corner and in fear for your dear life Fear for your dear life, and You're to blame You probably think this game is about you You're to blame I'll bet you think this game is about you Don't you? Don't you? Don't you?
