We Can't Wait 100 Years

By Rick Kaempfer and Tom Latourette

Now with new video! Scroll down . . .

We give so much, give our time and our money
We buy garages from Danley and just for you
We drink Old Style and we pay you $6.50
Though just between you and me that's not good brew

We Can't Wait 100 Years

And the price tag, to get hit with some concrete
That will crumble in our seat is $52
They say we're angry, but how angry can we be
When the Cubs security's like 92

And we can't wait 100 years
But we can't wait even one year more
It's been a whole damn century
It's time to even up the score

Missed the wedding, '69 and '84 and needed just five outs more 2003
Then a bridesmaid, '32 and '35 and '38 and '45, close as can be
This year we're betting, that we're gonna have a wedding
Cubbies gonna buy us all a Series ring
A celebration, gonna trample Cubbie Nation
Like that Filene's Basement bridal sale thing

'Cause we can't wait 100 years
But we can't wait even one year more
It's been a whole damn century
It's time to even up the score

Lou Piniella! Lou Piniella!
It's time to get your Cubbie fans some bling
Lou Piniella! Lou Piniella!
This is the year the Cubs will finally get the ring

No more called shots, no more balls through Leon's legs
No more disregard for Greg, no trading Lou
No more Garvey, no fans reaching in the park,
And please no more Will Clark or Stephen Drew
No more next year, that's the phrase that we all fear
That's why we drown ourselves in beer while dressed in blue
A celebration for the suffering Cubbie Nation
Nothing short of that, my friends, will ever do
Your fans have waited long enough for you

'Cause we can't wait 100 years
But we can't wait even one year more
It's been a whole damn century
It's time to even up the score

Lou Piniella! Lou Piniella!
It's time to give your Cubbie fans some bling
Lou Piniella! Lou Piniella!
This is the year the Cubs will finally get the ring

Fukudome! Fukudome!
Show these other Cubbies your discipline
Fukudome! Fukudome!
Show these other Cubs that you know how to win

"Cause we can't wait 100 years
But we can't wait even one year more
It's been a whole damn century
It's time to even up the score
