Orchestra
"The Chicago Champions"
Fans! here's your chance to show your friends of the diamond
what you think of them, let's make it a good one for a starter.
(2)
Parody, "Marching Through Georgia"
The Cubs have won the pennant boys, that's why we're here tonight
Gallant Chance and all the Cubs put up a bully fight,
So we're glad to honor them, it's due them and it's right
So for the Cubs we are cheering.
Chorus
Hoorah! Hoorah! the Cubs have won first place
Hoorah! Hoorah! they made a gallant race
For honest Frank and all the boys, we'll show our loyalty
While for the Cubs we are cheering.
Let's sing another verse boys, let's sing it with a vim,
For they beat out all the rest, the Giants they did trim,
Let's give the Cubs a mighty cheer, the boys we know can win
While for the Cubs we are cheering.
(Air, Chorus of "The Red, White and Blue")
Three cheers for Chance and the Cubs,
For they beat all the rest of the clubs,
There's glory for all and they played winning ball
Three cheers for Chance and the Cubs.

Orchestra
"El Capitan"
Are we willing to tell the team that we like their style ?
Of course we are. so let us do it with one accord.
(4)
Parody, "Just My Style"
When first the Cubs started out to win the flag, we loyal fans were true,
We knew they could hand us out the goods and lick most any crew,
We watched and we cheered them each day to victory, through both summer and the fall
Do what they might, we knew they were right, they always played winning ball.
First Chorus
If you ask why we are loyal, we will ask you if you know,
They're the swiftest bunch of players, not one of them is slow
They're a manly lot of fellows, and we knew it all the while,
Let's pay tribute to the Cubs, boys, for they're just our style.
Second Chorus
They're nineteen players in the bunch, and every one's a star,
Nineteen sounds quite good to us, it's nineteen above par,
And Muggsey can remember too, for he nearly had a fit,
When all his pitchers were knocked out, score nineteen to nit.
Third Chorus
To Frank Chance we doff our hats, boys, we're glad to cheer his work,
He's a hustler from away back, no effort does he shirk,
He's not slow when on the bases, and be knocks the ball a mile
He's a chance we'll take a chance on, he's just our style.
Just to recall the series with New York, "Muggsey" et al,
Everybody who remembers those games please sing.

Parody, "Waiting at the Church"
New York's in some trouble, that I will confess,
Somebody with them has had a game,
They should by now be the winners of the flag
But they still got to kick, O what a shame.
They were proposed by a certain Mugs McGraw,
In a most ungentlemanly way.
As the only ones who had a right to play upon the field,
But what an awful slap he got one day:
Chorus
There McGraw was waiting at the gate,
The crowd said he's a skate,
He couldn't see home plate,
When he found that he could not dictate,
My, how, it did upset him,
All at once he sent around a note, here's the very note,
And this is what he wrote:
Please Mr. Boss, can I bring in my goat,
Johnstone wouldn't let him.
Chorus
Another day he tried to have his say,
Was in everybody's way, the game they didn't play,
McGraw said I'll have my Umpire today,
My what a &ame of bluffing.
Then the man who knows what he's about, says-now it comes out,
Pulliam said Johnstone he could fire him out,
Then-nine to NOTHING.
Chorus
On our Frank we'll always take a Chance,
He can make them dance,
And 'round the bases prance.
He is never, never in a trance
No matter what may happen.
He's a man who always plays clean ball
A quitter he will call
And send them to the tall
He always says, "Fair play, or none at all--"
FRANK CHANCEP OUR CAPTAIN
Everybody can sing the next number excepting President Murphy.
And he is ordered out of the game for this Inning at least.
(6)
Parody, "Everybody Works but Father"
First Chorus
Everybody works but Murphy, he sits around all day,
Jollying along his patrons, he's got a winning way
He knows he's got the winners, the rest are only dubs
Why shouldn't he feel elated, he's President of the Cubs.
Second Chorus
Nobody works like Murphy, he works hard all day,
Working out the winning dope, while the Cubs are at play
The dope that brought us winners, so now let him brag,
He's got a team of champions, the boys that won the flag.
Third Chorus
So everybody works but Murphy, he sits around all day,
Counting up the money, wondering how ‘twill pay
Likes the job of President, likes it pretty well
Thinks New York can beat our boys, he does like?--
No one is sorry that he is more than forty-five minutes from Broadway
tonight, and because of that it Is a good reason why he should do full justice
to George M. Cohan's song "So Long Mary" even though it's in the form
of a parody.
It's up to the many good singers amongst the Cubs to do their little vocal
stunt, the other guests will do the rest.

Parody, "So Long Mary"
(Cubs) It's awfully nice of all you fans to have us here tonight
(Fans) So long Cubsies
(Cubs) ‘Twas mighty good of all you fans to cheer us in our work
(Fans) So long Cubsies
(Cubs) You helped us win many and many a game
If we lost you fans were not to blame
And next year we'll try to gain more fame
Tonight we'll say farewell.
Chorus
(Fans) So long Cubsies we shall miss you most of all
So long Cubsies come back this winter and play ball
We'll go out if 'tis freezing, even through the snow
So long young bears, we surely hate to have you go.
Chorus
(Cubs) So long rooters, our games this year have all been fought,
So long rooters tonight you've won, nineteen to naught
But for us we hope you'll keep on rooting--never lag
So long rooters, in the spring help hoist our flag.
Chorus
(Rooters) So long Cubsies, pitchers, catchers, fielders and all
So long Cubsies, we'll call the game a draw for all
And we'll say goodbye and good luck boys, while you roam
So long Cubsies, don't forget to come back home.
