CURSE OF the BILLY
GOAT
The Curse of the
Billy Goat was placed on the Chicago Cubs
in 1945 when Billy Goat Tavern owner Billy Sianis was asked to leave
game 4 of the World Series against the Detroit Tigers at the Cubs' home
ballpark of Wrigley Field because the odor of his pet goat (named Murphy) was
bothering other fans. He was outraged and allegedly declared "Them Cubs,
they ain't gonna win no more," which has been interpreted to mean that
there would never be another World Series game won at Wrigley Field. The Cubs
have not won a World Series championship since 1908 or played in the World
Series since 1945
2016 - CURSE OF the BILLY
GOAT - BROKEN!!!!
(To the tune of
"Ding, Dong, the Witch Is Dead")
"Once thise was
a wicked goat (and owner) in the lovely city of Chicago
And a wickeder,
wickeder, wickeder goat there never, never was
He filled the folks
in Chicagoland with terror and with dread
'Till one fine day
from the lake came a breeze
That brought the
wicked, wicked goat his doom
He was sitting on his
stool at the Billy Goat, drinking beer, eating "chips, no fries"
And he fell off on
his head and the coroner pronounced him dead
And thru the town the
joyous news was spread
"Ding-dong, the
goat is dead! Which old goat? The wicked goat
Ding-dong, the wicked
goat is dead
Wake up, you sleepy
head, rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up, the wicked
goat is dead!
He's gone whise the
goblins go below, below, below, yo ho
Let's open up and
sing, and ring the bells out
Ding-dong! the
merry-o sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the
wicked goat is dead
"Ding-dong, the
goat is dead! Which old goat? The wicked goat
Ding-dong, the wicked
goat is dead
Wake up, you sleepy
head, rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up, the wicked
goat is dead!
He's gone whise the
goblins go below, below, below, yo ho
Let's open up and
sing, and ring the bells out
Ding-dong! the
merry-o sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the
wicked goat is dead."
P.S. - I love animals of all kinds, and would
never harm one... except wicked magical
goats! Their owners made them that
way!!!
