'Twas the first test of The Ashes series 1993, | |
Australia had only managed 289 and we | |
Felt all was going to plan, that first innings at Old Trafford, | |
Then Merv Hughes and his handlebar moustache dismissed poor Athers. | |
I took the crease to great applause and focused on me dinner, | |
I knew that I had little cause to fear their young leg spinner, | |
He loosened up his shoulders and with no run up at all, | |
He rolled his right arm over and he let go of the ball. | |
It was... | |
Jiggery pokery, trickery chokery, how did he open me up? | |
Robbery! Muggery! Aussie skull duggery, out for a buggering duck. | |
What a delivery, I might as well have been holding a contrabassoon, | |
Jiggery pokery, who was this nobody making me look a buffoon? | |
Like a blithering old baffoon... | |
At first the ball looked straight enough, I had it in my sights, | |
But such was its rotation that it swerved out to the right, | |
I thought "Well that's a leg break, that's easily defended" | |
So I stuck my left leg out and jammed my bat against it. | |
But the ball it spun obscenely and out of the rough it jumped, | |
Veered back across my bat and pad, clipping my off stump, | |
It took a while to hit me, I momentarily lingered, | |
But then I saw old Dickie Bird slowly raise his finger. | |
It was... | |
Jiggery pokery, trickery chokery, how did he open me up? | |
Robbery! Muggery! Aussie skull duggery, out for a buggering duck. | |
What a delivery, I might as well have been holding a childs balloon, | |
Jiggery pokery, who was this nobody making me look a buffoon? | |
Like an accident prone babboon. | |
Babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon. | |
Babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon. | |
Babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon. | |
Babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon, babboon. | |
How such a ball could be bowled, I don't know but if you asked me, | |
If it had been a cheese roll it would never have got passed me. | |
It was... | |
Jiggery pokery, trickery chokery, how did he open me up? | |
Robbery! Muggery! Aussie skull duggery, what in the buggery f... | |
Was his delivery, I might as well have been holding a cob of corn, | |
Jiggery pokery, who was this nobody making me look so forlorn? | |
I hate Shane Warne! |
