White Sox: The Musical
My parents brought me a copy of the Tempo section of the "Chicago Tribune" this weekend. The amazingly talented writers in this section decided to make up songs for a White Sox musical in celebration of their victory. The musical is called "South Side Story." Here are the songs: I've been singing them outloud because I'm a dork and they're really funny!
"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, Cubs 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!
"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 the Hall of Fame
Oh, yesssssssss!
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 playing (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"
(A duet by 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.
(Jim)
Now it's time for us,
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 penant 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?
"Tonight"
