>Mystery of the World |
What is the Mystery of the World? Is it the meaning of life? Is it where and when the universe begins and ends? Naw! the Mystery of the World is why our Boston Red Sox rise in the Spring (often being in first place like they are now on this date) and fall in the Fall. Why? Why? Why? This question has plagued Red Sox fans for what seems like an eternity. Maybe the song THE MYSTERY OF THE WORLD which is the third song on the CD BASEBALL SONGS SPORTS HEROES gives the answer. Here is the lyric to this song: |
CHORUS NEW ENGLAND HOLDS ITS BREATH FROM SUMMER INTO FALL OUR SOX CLIMB TO FIRST PLACE AND THEN BLOW IT ALL WHY THE SOX LOSE WITH GLORY'S THE MYSTERY OF THE WORLD NO ONE'S EVER SOLVED IT SO I'M GIVING IT A WHIRL THEY SAY THE SOX CAN'T WIN BECAUSE OF BABE RUTH'S CURSE WELL, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT'S MUCH MUCH WORSE DON'T BLAME THE SULTAN OF SWAT, THE GREAT BABE RUTH GOD'S NOT A RED SOX FAN AND THAT'S THE AWFUL TRUTH!!
