Anyone know the words to the song to tune of 'Don't want to go home' or whatever it is?

I posted it last night, must be a few pages back by now :thumbsup:

Tonight's drink update (thought I'd better get it in before the match is all over): I'm on a rather nice bottle of Weston's Organic cider.

I'm afaid I have had another bottle of (Aussie) shiraz and 2 pints of John Smiths. Just opened a Carlsberg Export.

Just started a bottle of white, should have got there a lot earlier.

At this rate I might have to watch the Hairy Bikers on the foody channel.

Anyone know the words to the song to tune of 'Don't want to go home' or whatever it is?

We came over from old Blighty
The Barmy Army and me
Around Brisbane town we did roam
6 quid for a pint, a grand for a flight
With Strauss our captain, we'll take the urn home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
With Strauss our captain
We'll take the urn home

Ricky Ponting's a broken man
Without Warne he has no plan
He tries to carry the team all on his own
He's losing his hair
But we don't care
'Cos Strauss our captain will take the urn home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
With Strauss our captain
We'll take the urn home

Graeme Swann is a caring guy
Rescues cats in his spare time
Now he's gonna tear the Aussies apart
They can't read his spin
And so England will win
'Cos Strauss our captain will take the urn home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
With Strauss our captain
We'll take the urn home

There you go!

This Australian cricket channel is awesome, they're doing a Classic Catches competition now in which the prize is a year's worth of KFC :lolol:

To the tune of Colonel Bogey

Ponting , without Mcgrath and Warne
Is hopeless and only 5ft tall
He's skipper but now so bitter
As we claim the Ashes once more

:laugh:

Barmy Army in AMAZING voice. Hands up who would give their right bollock to be there :) Edna you're excused...
 


Barrel of Fun

Abort, retry, fail
I went to the Doctor the other day.

I have been feeling irritable during the day. Prone to lapses of concentrations and tend to nod off mid afternoon without much prior warning.

Turns out it is nothing serious, I have been watching too much of the Ashes into the wee small hours of the morning.

I hope nobody's told Warne about the KFC prize.

The Aussie commentators just mentioned it's David Boon's fiftieth birthday today. A tubby but great batsman in his time, cultivator of cricket's second best moustache EVER, and owner of the record for the most beers consumed during the flight from Australia to Heathrow (55)

This, loving the coverage

And now Tony Greig has entered the commentary box. This gets more like the Twelfth Man by the second. I'm loving it.
