A Phillies polka
Back in 1950, the last time the Phils were in the Series with the Yankees, the Delaware County String Band cut a tune called "The Fightin' Phils Polka."

Lyrics, should you want to sing along at home (a-one anna two anna...):
The Fight, Fight, Fight-in Phils! It's a tough, tough, team to beat.
They're out to win, win ev-'ry day. Every victory is sweet.
Watch em hit that ball a mile; play a game that's packed with thrills.
Get Pa to bring your Mother, Sister and your Brother
Come out to see the Fight-in' Phils. The fight, fight, fight-'in Phils.
("Fly, Eagles, Fly" it ain't.)
