/1/
Waiting for 34 years
and surely some more
so few wins, so many tears
oh tigers, oh tigers
we need to quickly score
/2/
we used to be strong and bold
but now we’re bored and cold
cotchin, deledio, dusty
it’s up to you all
so play hard and get the bloody ball!
/3/
fiora or pavlich?
tambling or franklin?
it’s all our own fault
oh tigers, oh tigers
bring this shit to a halt!
/4/
the Royal, the London, the Corner
so many places in which to get pissed
and to forget about all the goals that we missed
the GB, the Cricketers Arms, the Mountain View
let’s make sure we’re drunk
another loss, it’s nothing new
/5/
he’s tall and he’s handsome
he comes from Kyabram
and he’s always on the go
he’s the one and only Brett
Del-e-di-ooh!
/6/
he’s big and he’s strong
he kicks the ball so damn long
oh dusty! dusty martin!
he’s got tatts on his neck and tatts on his arms
and his mate mr.conners didn’t set his alarm
we love you, we love you dusty
even when your form is rather rusty
oh dusty! dusty martin!
They get better as they go along. I like 5 and 6.
4 could be boiled down further to a simple list of pubs.
Agree, I like 4 to 6, and I think the last one has legs. We need to find some members of the “grog squad” and have them document their chants here. This could be an important archival document. I’ll clear my throat, and call out to fans…
