Fanatics Supporters Group publishing songbook for Aussie crowds


I confess I've been a bit concerned about us Aussies being out-sung by the Barmy Army but I'm encouraged to learn that the Fanatics Supporters Group is publishing a songbook for Aussie fans. They'll be giving out 70,000 free copies over the Test series. There are some great lyrics on offer - my favourite is "Ode to a British Girlfriend" sung to the tune of Cliff Richard's Living Doll:
Got myself a yawning, boring, pasty, nagging, whinging pom
Got to do your best to leave her just cause she's a whinging pom
She's got a lazy eye & big fat thighs from all those chips & pies
She's not the only boring, pasty, nagging, whinging pom
I think it's every Aussie's duty to get hold of a songbook or just to be ultra-prepared, bring a print-out of the lyrics with you on the day. We need to stand tall, loud and strong to fight off the Barmy Army invasion. Go the green and gold!

to the tune of "come on Eileen"

poor ol harmy
left on a plane long way from mummy
he and his mummy cried
he will miss her
who could blame her?

oh come on harmy
do you still miss mummy?
away on your own
your so hopeless

EMI have threatened legal action against The Fanatics because of a breach of copyright on the songs. The Fanatics have withdrawn the info from their website and doesn't know what to do with the 100,000 books already printed. What a shame...

to the tune of "you've lost that loving feeling"

yuo're an embarrassment when you take the pitch
and there's no eagerness like before in your ashes dig
you're trying hard not to lose it,
but pommy you blew it

you've lost the ashes series
whoa,the ashes series
you've lost the ashes series
now it's gone...gone...gone...whooooooh

now you must go home with your tails between your legs
and you can't have them back no matter how much you beg
it must make you just feel like crying
'cause pommy,it's a long time flying

we've won the ashes series
whoa,the ashes series
we've won the ashes series
now it's ours...ours...ours...whooooooh
