For those of you who don’t know I have been a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan and will always be. I was bitten by the success of the Cubs last season and with them off to a 2-0 start this year I find myself humming the lyrics written by Steve Goodman: Go, Cubs, Go and I’ve found myself playing the song and I call on all you Cubs fans and baseball fans to take a moment and listen to the catchy tune as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9XtDyDUjIU
Baseball season’s underway
Well, you’d better get ready for a brand new day
Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
They’re singing
Go, Cubs, Go!
Go, Cubs Go!
Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
Go, Cubs, Go!
Go, Cubs, Go!
Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
They got the power
They got the speed
To be the best in the National League
Well this is the year
And the Cubs are real
So come on down to Wrigley Field
(We’re singing, now)
Go, Cubs, Go!
Go, Cubs Go!
Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
Go, Cubs, Go!
Go, Cubs Go!
Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
Baseball time is here again
You can catch it all on WGN
So stamp your feet and clap your hands
Chicago Cubs have got the greatest fans
(Keep on singing, now)
Go, Cubs, Go!
Go, Cubs, Go!
Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
(Let’s go!)
Go, Cubs, Go!
Go, Cubs, Go!
Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today!
Go, Cubs, Go!
Go, Cubs, Go!
Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
(Take charge!)
Go, Cubs, Go!
Go, Cubs, Go!
Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
Go, Cubs, Go!
Go, Cubs, Go!
Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
Go, Cubs, Go!
Go, Cubs, Go!
Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
Go, Cubs, Go!
Go, Cubs, Go!
Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
Let’s hope that Cubs fans all over the world will be rejoicing and singing Go, CUBS, Go all season and in celebration of them winning the World Serious this season. I have approached this season with the attitude that this is definitely the year for my beloved Cubs. When it comes to baseball I’m a diehard Chicago Cubs fan and will always be.
