Verse 1
Are there any (C major) 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.
They're putting (G major) on a show,
(C major) Lillian (F major) McEnroe
(C major) No (G major) publicity is (C major) bad publi (G major) city,
listen (F major) to them talking on the radio
(G major) I (C major) read it on the very (G major) front (C major) page,
(F major) and Brian told me so
(C major) It's not as much (G major) fun when they
(C major) get to number one
and start putting (G major) on a show. (C major)
(G major) Now we know we can't win
(C major) but (F major) it's a very great scene
(C major) when that bloody big (G major) lily
(C major) go running down the wicket
(G major) start (F major) kicking the captain on
the bloody shin. (G major)
(C major) Pakistan's (G major) got the wrong (C major) kind of run (G major) s,
(F major) lily has got to go. (C major)
It's not as much (G major) fun
when (C major) they get to number one
and start puttin' (G major) on a show (C major)
Chappell lost his good luck charm,
his (F major) brother Boll's under (C major) arm
The Kiwis were dis (G major) gusted,
(C major) Chappell's bubble busted
and now he's still got his little (G major) duck (C major) farm
It's not over (G major) yet,
but what about Rodney (F major) Marsh? (C major)
He's like a rock, (F major) and I call him the Claw (C major)
No one in (G major) the ashes
has (A minor) seen so many streakers
no (C major) (A minor) (F major) one's caught so
many balls behind before
(G major) but no one (C major) plays the (G major) game like (C major) me
in my (F major) armchair with colour TV
(C major) I slice a leg of ham square
cut the bread and jam
and hook my German band
around a cold (G major) KB (C major) and I sing
along
while they're putting (G major) on (C major) a show
Lily (F major) and Mack and Roe (C major)
no publi (G major) city (C major) is bad publicity
listen (F major) to talking on the radio
(G major) I (C major) read it on the very front page
an (F major) d Brian told me so (C major)
it's not as much fun
when they get to number one
and start putting (G major) on a show
(C major) well
it's not as much (G major) fun
(C major) when they get to number one
and start putting (G major) on a show (F major) (C major)
Thank you.
