WAIT ‘TILL NEXT YEAR

WAIT ‘TILL NEXT YEAR!

HOW SHALL WE ACT NOW? WHAT SHALL WE DO?

SEASON AFTER SEASON WILL BE FOREVER NEW

WE’LL PAY AN AWFUL PRICE TO BE LOSER FREE

GONE IS OUR TRADITION OF LOSING GLORIOUSLY

THERE’S SOMETHING CUDDLY ABOUT LIFE LONG DEFEAT

BABE RUTHS’ CURSE WAS SUCH A BITTER SWEET TREAT

WE SAT ALL SUMMER LONG SQUIRMING IN FENWAY SEATS

NO TEAM IN SPORTS HISTORY MATCHED OUR LOSING FEATS

CHORUS

WAIT ‘TILL NEXT YEAR WAS THE RED SOX BATTLE CRY

FILLED WITH ETERNAL HOPE THAT WOULD NEVER DIE

BUT OUR WHOLE WORLD ENDED OUR RED SOX WON IT ALL

OH THERE’S NOTHING WORSE THAN WINNING IN THE FALL!

SHALL I BECOME A CUBBIE FAN? THE CHANCES ARE REMOTE

THEIR CURSE HAS NO CLASS. IT’S A COW OR A GOAT

I CAN’T CHEER FOR THE YANKEES.THEY’RE NEVER GOING TO WIN

THE SOX GAVE THEM JUDGMENT DAY AND AT LAST DID THEM IN

LIVING IN BASEBALL HELL WAS BASEBALL’S HOTTEST TREAT

WITH HELL FREEZING OVER COLD VICTORY’S OUR DEFEAT

YES, HELL FREEZES OVER OUR RED SOX HAVE FINALLY WON

I FEAR THE RED SOX NATION WILL SOON COME UNDONE!!

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT LAST LINE AND FADE
