| 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 |
