Red-Hot Red-Hots
The Cubs are still winning
In fact, they're red-hot
Out of 17 games, they've won quite a lot
Out in L.A., they took five out of six
even for a great team, a very good trick
Let's trust that a hot start in April
doesn't lead to a fade in May
or that proverbial swoon in June --
Leaving fans fuming
come dog-days of August

'Red-hots' refer to hotdogs sold by vendors at the
ballpark: "Red-hots, red-hots: Get your red-hots
here! Wash 'em down with a beer!" ... 'Red-hot,' of
course, refers to a team playing well and winning.
