Monty’s Song
to the tune of ‘Number of the Beast’ by Iron Maiden*
Woe to you, opener and tail, for the Poms send the beast with Wrath
Because cricket’s more than sport
Let him who hath understanding reckon with the figures of the beast
For it is a spinners figures, his figures: six for sixty six.
Leave him alone, England's new find
I needed time to get that turban image from my mind
What did I see? Could I believe?
An Asian Pom who says he’s named Monty!!
Just what you thought, in your old dreams
Where they wishes of Ashley racking up 0/103?
See in my dream it’s always there, how did they win the Ashes
Ponting's captaincy was just not there!
The Test was slack and the track was flat
Could not believe Punter says have a bat!
Played and missed crap figures Lee is pi55ed
Was this all for real who put back the bell?
6/66 the number of the beast
Monty’s turn spawned to be released
Poms eyes glazed, crappy chants were phrased
As they start to cry, I say chum your buy
In the night, turn down beer that’s light
The ritual has begun, Barmy Army Bums!
6/66 the number of the beast
Ashley Giles not pleased to say the least
This can’t go on we will check out the ball
Can this guy bowl did he just hit the seam?
But I’m still drawn toward those English broads
They seem to wink and flirt can’t avoid the skirt
6/66 the number of the beast
6/66 the number for you and Monty
It’s coming back, did that ball turn!
And he’ll possess Pup’s wicket and make us burn
He has the fire, he has the force
He has the tweak to make the ball divert its course
Regards,
REB
