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
