The Cubs are gonna hit today they're gonna pitch today they're gonna field today come what may, the Cubs are gonna win today! Hey, hey holy mackerel no doubt about it The Cubs are on their way They've got the hustle they've got the muscle the Chicago Cubs are on their way!!! :) Wow that brought back memories! :)
