Well the 'Barmy army' is natural, they arn't manufactured.

He's useless in the covers, he's useless in the slips
And when he straps the pads on, he'll pass out with the yips

Well what can I say - seems like Monty is a target.

More Spooked

And more A must for cricket music lovers

We got there first with the My old man's a dustman tune

Mark Waugh is an Aussie,he wears a baggy cap
And when he saw the bookies cash,he said i'm having that
He gave some dosh to Warney,they went and had some beers
And when the ACB found out,they covered it up for years.


Can't they try and come up with anything original?

To the same tune, from the Army's "Songs of Praise" for the last tour:

The Aussies love the English, which some of us find strange,
'Cos we sent them Down Under with only balls and chains.
Now when the see the English the Aussies shout and scream,
But when they had the chance to vote they voted for the Queen.

Invariably followed with a rendition of

God save your gracious Queen
Long live your noble Queen
God save the Queen
Send her victorious, happy and glorious
Long to reign over YOU [accompanied by a lot of pointing]
God save your Queen.
