Lillee And McEnroe chords by John Williamson
Verse 1
C
Are there any cricket fans
here tonight?
There's got to be a few.
OK, well this is a little ditty I wrote,
and it was all about the incident
involving Dennis Lilley
when the Pakistan team was out here last.
You may remember the incident.
If you've forgotten, well,
this song will remind you.
McEnroe was also making
a bit of noise at the time,
so I threw him into the song
very briefly.
G
They're putting on a show,
C
F
Lillian McEnroe
C
G
C
G
No publicity is bad publicity,
F
listen to them talking on the radio
G
C
G
C
I read it on the very front page,
F
and Brian told me so
C
G
It's not as much fun when they
C
get to number one
G
C
and start putting on a show.
G
Now we know we can't win
C
F
but it's a very great scene
C
G
when that bloody big lily
C
go running down the wicket
G
F
start kicking the captain on
G
the bloody shin.
C
G
C
G
Pakistan's got the wrong kind of runs,
F
C
lily has got to go.
G
It's not as much fun
C
when they get to number one
G
C
and start puttin' on a show
Chappell lost his good luck charm,
F
C
his brother Boll's underarm
G
The Kiwis were disgusted,
C
Chappell's bubble busted
G
C
and now he's still got his little duck farm
G
It's not over yet,
F
C
but what about Rodney Marsh?
F
C
He's like a rock, and I call him the Claw
G
No one in the ashes
Am
has seen so many streakers
C
Am
F
no one's caught so
many balls behind before
G
C
G
C
but no one plays the game like me
F
in my armchair with colour TV
C
I slice a leg of ham square
cut the bread and jam
and hook my German band
G
C
around a cold KB and I sing
along
G
C
while they're putting on a show
F
C
Lily and Mack and Roe
G
C
no publicity is bad publicity
F
listen to talking on the radio
G
C
I read it on the very front page
F
C
and Brian told me so
it's not as much fun
when they get to number one
G
and start putting on a show
C
well
G
it's not as much fun
C
when they get to number one
G
F
C
and start putting on a show
Thank you.
