[Lyric] The Opening Game (Gary Bachlund)

With Chance on first, and Evers on third
Great things from the Cubs will soon be heard
Then up comes Schulte to the bat
On the plate his bat does rap;
Takes a slug at that old ball
Makes it clear the right field wall
Then in comes Chance and in comes Evers
Such hits are seldom seen -- most never
Then to the bat comes Zim in haste
He sure knows how the ball to paste
He slams that ball upon the Bean
Almost seems to make it scream
The centеr fielder nabs the ball;
It seems as if t'would makе him fall
But stop this rank stuff
Just one inning is enough
