There Used To Be A Ball Park
Composer(s): Joe Raposo
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



And there used to be a ball park
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 to be a ball park... 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 laughed and how they'd cheer
And there used to be a ball park... 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

Yes, there used to be a ball park... right here
