“Tonight”
Tonight, tonight,
The South Side’s shining bright,
Tonight the White Sox rule the world!
Tonight, tonight
The town bleeds black and white
And somewhere, Cub fans hurl.
Tonight,
I’m hoping we keep Crede,
Konerko, don’t get greedy,
Let’s keep this roster tight
If things go right,
In one year we’ll repeat
Yes, we might —
Tonight!
— Phil Vettel
“Konerko”
Konerko.
The most beautiful sound I ever heard.
Konerko, Konerko, Konerko, Konerko . . .
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word . . .
Konerko, Konerko, Konerko, Konerko . . .
Konerko!
I’ve just seen a clout from Konerko,
And suddenly that name
Is in my Hall of Fame
Oh, yesssss!
Konerko!
I’ve just caught a clout from Konerko.
And suddenly I’ve found
The Sox World-Series bound
Will be!
Konerko!

Shout it loud — he is first-base playing,
Shout it loud — he’s the one worth paying (a lot).
Konerko,
I’ll never stop watching Konerko!

“When You’re a Sox”
When you’re a Sox,
You’re a Sox all the way
From right outta the box
To your last Openin’ Day.
When you’re a Sox,
Let them make all their fun,
It’s the scoreboard that talks,
It says we’re Number 1.
We’re never alone,
We’re never disconnected!
We’re home with our own
When Cubbies are expected,
We’re well protected!
We’ve all been set
With a capital S!
And we never forget
And we’ll win all the rest.
When you’re a Sox,
You stay a Sox!

“Somewhere”
Duet, Cubs manager Dusty Baker and Cubs general manager Jim Hendry

Dusty: Can there
be First Place for us?
Somewhere, First Place for us?
Respect at Wrigley, a full roster there
Wait for us
Somewhere.

A brand-new climb for us,
Time for winning with runs to spare,
Time to shine, play with flair
Someday!
Dusty: Somewhere!
We’ll have to learn about winning

Jim: Think we can learn by Thanksgiving?
Somewhere. . .
Dusty and Jim: Where’s First Place for us,
A pennant race for us?
Wrigley Field’s full of fans that care
Don’t hold your breath, but we WILL get there.
Somehow,
Some way,
Small ball?
