Lyrics

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
