BABE RUTH’S CURSE II
OUR RED SOX NOW LEAD BY A COUNTRY MILE
STILL FEAR GRIPS OUR HEARTS THE CROWD WEARS NO SMILE
BABE’S CURSE IS WITH US ALL CLOUDS GROW DARK
IT’S WORLD SERIES TIME AT OLD FENWAY PARK
THAT’S NOT DISTANT THUNDER I HEAR FROM THE SKY
BUT MISTER BABE RUTH STEPPING DOWN FROM ON HIGH
BABE’S COMING TO PLAY WITH HIS BAT AND HIS BALL
TO MAKE SURE WE DON’T WIN THE SERIES THIS FALL
HEY MISTER BABE PLEASE GIVE US A BREAK
HOW MUCH MORE CAN THE RED SOX FANS TAKE
IN THE ANNALS OF BASEBALL NONE CAN BE WORSE
THAN THE TERRIBLE TALE OF BABE RUTH’S CURSE
IN THE SERIES OF ’18 BASE STRODE TO THE MOUND
AND PROCEEDED TO MOW THE CHICAGO CUBS DOWN
BUT THAT’S THE LAST SERIES THE SOX EVER WON
SOON BABE RUTH WAS TRADED, THE DIRTY DEED DONE
REPEAT CHORUS
WHEN VICTORY NEARS SOON COMES THE DEFEAT
‘TIS ALWAYS BEEN THUS WE ALWAYS GET BEAT
WAIT STOP THE MUSIC!! WHAT WOULD WE DO IF OUR RED SOX DID WIN?
OHHH WHAT A HORRIBLE FIX WE’D BE IN!!
NOTHIN’ TO HOPE FOR NOTHIN’ TO FEAR
NEVER TO UTTER WAIT ‘TIL NEXT YEAR
HEY MISTER BABE PLEASE KEEP UP YOUR CURSE
‘TIS BETTER TO LOSE A WIN WOULD BE WORSE!!
REPEAT LAST TWO LINES ….FADE
