The Geelong Song - Don't call us certanties!!

[Rik E Boy]

Don't call us certanties
To the tune of 'Don't Stand So Close to Me' by the Police*

From Catland, the subject
Of media scrutiny
They want it so badly
Haven’t won since ‘63
Inside them, there’s longing
Keep failing on the big stage
Been building – they’re so close now
Oh 5hit just read ‘The Age’!!

Don’t call us, Don’t call us
Don’t call us certainties!

The coach gets so precious
Missed targets not night capers
Sometimes it’s not so easy
When the boys read newspapers
Aggravation, frustration
So bad it makes him sigh
Hurt players, they’re waiting
The drought is long and dry

Don’t call us, Don’t call us
Don’t call us certainties!

Sledge talk in the staffroom
The fans are hurt and they cry
Loose objects in the changeroom
Now they begin to fly
It’s no use, they’re the hunted
Our team starts to shake and linger
Just like the old man who
Gave Ayres the finger

Don’t call us, Don’t call us
Don’t call us certainties!!

Don’t call us, Don’t call us
Don’t call us certainties!!


regards,

REB

Mate you should send that to Greg Champion of the Coodabeen Champions on ABC radio eeach Saturday from 11:00 to 13:00 hrs before the footy. As probably know he has been doing footy parodies for years. Go to their website http://www.coodabeens.com.au for some of their material it is piss funny especially his parody if The Eagles "Lyin eyes", "Can you barrack for the 'Pies"

You probably don't get it in Qld we didn't get it in the NT, do you mind if I send it to him, with the appropriate acknowledgement of IP!!!

Here is one of Greg Champions better ones if you haven't seen it before..

DOWN TO KARDINIA
tune: the river, [Springsteen] words: alf davies-ogge-champion

I come from down Corio
Where mister when you're young
They bring you up to think you'll be
Another Neville Bruns
I grew up with the Nankervis boys
In the back streets of Anakie
And there hasn't been a lot to cheer about
Since 1963
CH.
We'd go down to Kardinia
And cheer our side with pride
When the Nankervis boys would kick it wi-i-de
2.
We lost in '67
And we took it pretty hard
But for my 19th birthday
I got a Michael Turner Scanlan's footy card
I took it to school and swapped it
For a Scratcher Neal card, but then
Someone beat me up and flogged it
And I never got it back again
CH.
We'd go down to Kardinia
With a thermos of Mum's best soup
Oh, and cheer for the blue and white hoops
3.
we got into a few Grand Finals
in those dark and cruel nineties
but lately there ain't been much success
on account of the conspiracy
the draw is stacked against us
we always play the stronger teams
and the AFL makes sure we don't
get on the TV
BR.
But I've seen Gary Malarkey and Bobby Dav-us
I saw Sidey waving at the Waverley bus
And at nights in Norlane I lie awake
And replay all the marks I saw Ablett take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Missing out on those Grand Finals, and now
Well, things couldn't get much worse
CH.
And we'd go down to Kardinia
And through the old-fashioned turnstiles
Oh and after, get sloshed at the Lord of the Isles

If you like Tassie, I come up with 5hitloads of these things. People usually say 'you've got too much time on your hands' but it doesn't really take that long. Maybe I just need to find a guitar player. I might have a bit of problem proving who Rik E Boy is as well cos my birth tablet says something different LOL.
