The Land of Wrigley (lyrics, sorta)

Some time ago, BaseballDad sent various folks a CD of baseball songs and bits. My son LOVES several of the songs on the CD, especially "The Land of Wrigley." While I know this is not a Cubs-related blog, I thought it fitting that I post what I "think" are the lyrics to the song because I cannot find them anywhere online.

So, if you know some of these are wrong, feel free to correct me and I'll fix them for the world to see. In the meantime, here are the approximate lyrics to "The Land of Wrigley:"

"The Land of Wrigley"
by Stormy Weather/Henry Farag

The Northside die-hard stole the show
The Land of Wrigley is in my soul
Come on Cubbies let the good times roll
Roll all day long

Come on Cubbies, let the good times roll
America's team, so I've been told
Come on Cubbies let the good times roll
Roll all day long

Come on Cubbies playin in the sun
Don't stop until you've won
The bleacher bums are gonna have their fun
Roll all day long

It feels so good, when you're home
Let's hear it for the sunshine boys,
You can do no wrong
On the road they give you night and day
When they're at home they play the natural way
Come on Cubbies well hey, hey, hey
Roll all day long

It feels so good, when you're home
Let's hear it for the sunshine boys,
You can do no wrong
All around the Cubs really are tough
Everybody knows they got the right stuff
Come on people how about those Cubs
Roll all day long
Roll all day long
Roll all day long
(Hey people have a pop old time)

Okay, not sure about the "tough" line and not sure about the last line.

If you have never heard the song, you can watch a YouTube slideshow-thing that features the song: HERE!
