|
And there used to be a ballpark where the field was warm and green
|
And the people played their crazy game with a joy I'd never seen
|
And the air was such a wonder from the hot dogs and the beer
|
Yes, there used a ballpark right here
|
|
And there used to be rock candy and a great big Fourth of July
|
With the fireworks exploding all across the summer sky
|
And the people watched in wonder, how they'd laugh and how they'd cheer
|
And there used to be a ballpark right here
|
|
Now the children try to find it
|
And they can't believe their eyes
|
`cause the old team just isn't playing
|
And the new team hardly tries
|
|
And the sky has got so cloudy
|
When it used to be so clear
|
And the summer went so quickly this year
|
|
Yes, there used to be a ballpark right here
|
