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 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.
