And all through the city
Pirate fans were optimistic
Oh, such a pity
Eighteen straight years of losing
And losing some more
Have left Pittsburgh baseball fans
Of happiness poor
Another spring full of losses
Oh, what a shocker
But a light of hope comes
with McCutchen, Tabata, Alvarez, and Walker
The offense should produce
That's what the experts say
The pitching still isn't there
Experts: ".500? No way!"
It's a new look team this year
Young players and a new manager to boot
Should be exciting to watch
On FSN... er I mean ROOT
It's not easy to love a bad team
PNC Park attendance is thin
People under the age of eighteen
Have never seen this team win
But be proud of your fanhood
You are so far from weak
It'll all be that much better
When the Pirates end this streak
Big management decisions have been made
Decisions this year will reflect
If you want to live a happy life
Visit often, The "Mc" Effect
It's tough being a Pirate fan
When wins every year is something we lack
But stay positive and put a smile on
For baseball is back
