Subject: ADD: Go, Cubs, Go! (Steve Goodman)
Tell me this: is there any baseball team on earth that has a more singable team song?

Wikipedia tells the story of the song and how it was written by Steve Goodman.

Oh, and don't forget Steve's Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request, which is in the Digital Tradition, and live by Steve in this video:

I'm brother to a rabid Cubs and Steve Goodman fan, and last week we drove a truck from Florida to Wisconsin together. I heard a lot about both Steve and the Cubs last week and this.

Go, Cubbies!

-Joe, now in Quincy, Illinois-

With full lyrics:
GO CUBS GO!
(Steve Goodman)

Baseball season's underway
Well you better get ready for a brand new day
Hey Chicago what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today

CHORUS
They're singing, Go Cubs go, go Cubs go
Hey Chicago what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today

Go Cubs go, go Cubs go
Hey Chicago what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today

They got the power, they got the speed
To be the best in the National League
Well, this is the year and the Cubs are real
So come on down to Wrigley Field

CHORUS
We're singing now Go Cubs go, go Cubs go
Hey Chicago what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
Go Cubs go, go Cubs go
Hey Chicago what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today

Baseball time is here again
You can catch it all on WGN
So stamp your feet and clap your hands
Chicago Cubs got the greatest fans

CHORUS
Hear them singing now Go Cubs go, go Cubs go
Hey Chicago what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
Go Cubs go, go Cubs go
Hey Chicago what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today.
