Chumbawamba - Leather on Willow, etc. lyrics

rate me

At Farnley Park cricket ground there's a Sycamore tree

And it stands thirty feet inside the boundary

I think that someone slapped a Preservation Order on the tree

So it's good the players don't take the game too seriously

Now there are no advertising boards to get in the way

And no computer scoreboard, hip, hip, hooray

Just an old bloke and a stubby pencil end

Who misses a run or two now and again

You see he's too busy looking at the Sycamore tree

He says, "It's all part of the game"

And I agree
