And there used to be a ballpark 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 ballpark right here. And there used to be rock candy, And a great big 4th of July With the fireworks exploding All across the summer sky. And the people watched in wonder How they'd laugh and how they'd cheer! And there used to be a ballpark 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 ballpark right here.

The story behind this song is the old Ebbett's Field in New York City's Brooklyn borough, where the Dodgers played from the late 1890s-early 1900s until 1957, when it was announced they would be moved to Los Angeles where they have played ever since. (Ebbett's Field was demolished in the spring of 1960 to make way for a new housing complex.)
