12th Man - Marvellouse lyrics

rate me

(Intro)

Alright fellas!

Are you feeling funky? Are you feeling hip?

Give me a Yo! (Yo!)

Alright!

I want everyone to move and groove and shake their funky things a little bit.

You got my guitar there, Bill? (Got it, yeah! Here you are, Richie)

Okay.

Let's see what this baby can do.

Let's go!

Yadadada Yadadada

(You know, Richie, you're really are a marvellous guitarist)

You really like that do you Tone? Yeah!

Think that's tough?

Yadadada Alright! Here we go!

5,4,3,2

(Verse)

Welcome back here to the mcg,

Or the gabba, or the wacca,

Or the adelaide oval, or the scg

It doesn't matter, where we are

Down under in Australia this summer

Cause when it's summer, in Australia

If ya don't like cricket, I can tell it's a real bummer

That's because cricket is the number one game in town

Just ask anyone around

Yo, boys!

From Bondi in the East to across the Bunbury in the West

From Darwin to the Dandenong

Or whatever your address might be

You can see me on the T.V.

Well, not just me, but the commentary team

They're sort of my boys, if you know what I mean

You know, I thought captaining Australia was a pretty tough job

But I can tell you, it's absolutely nothing

Compared to looking after this mob

Lemme tell ya this, mornin' Bill and Tony

(Morning Rich! Morning all!)

And Greg and Ian (Yes, morning Rich!)

And our special guests Soneji and Tony C

(Good morning!)

And of course there's me

And we say

What a marvellous catch!

That's a marvellous shot!

What a marvellous crowd, the Victorians

(Hook)

C'mon fellas! Let's kick it!

We're the commentary team and what we call the game

It's marvellous! Yes, everything is marvellous

Because it's marvellous

Yes, it's M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

That's right, it's M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

(Verse 2)

Yes, indeed, it really is a marvellous effort

That you every summer night when mi head hits the pillow

I drifted off to sleep and I dreamed about Leather (What?)

And Will O'Bill, and Border, and Booney, and Deano, and Moody, and Taylor

Just to name just a few of the super Australian side for season 1991-92

(What about Big Merv?) Yes, him too!

(He's a hero, this man)

(Oh, c'mon, turn it up, Bolly, for it might be you)

(Well, he has a lot of guts)

(Well, he eats too much food)

Hey, hey, you two! Now it doesn't really matter

Look, nobody give a stuff if Big Merv is a little fatter

Just as long as we're thrashing those ?, or poms

Or Sri Lanka, or the Windies, it doesn't matter where they're from

For it might be India, South Africa, Zimbabwe, or New Zealand

But if I don't take a breath I reckon I might be keeling over soon

I'm trying carry on and do my best

(C'mon, Richie, you can't afford to take a rest)

Oh, Streuth!

(C'mon, Richie, we'll get you through it)

Oh, gee!

(We know it's hard, but you can do it)

Ah, thanks a lot, fellas, think I'm okay

I'll live another day to say

What a marvellous stroke!

And that's a marvellous knock

What a marvellous throw

And that's a marvellous below

(Hook)

C'mon everybody, cricket time!

We're the commentary team and we reckon everything's marvellous

(Yeah yeah yeah)

Yes, it's marvellous!

That's right, it's marvellous

That's right, it's M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

You heard me, M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

(Verse)

Yes, indeed, it really is a marvellous effort that

My name is Richie, and I am the king

I'm the king commentator, I'm the number one thing

And I'm a singer too, and I'm a jammer

And that's when I become M.C. Hammer

And I feel a solo coming on, Bill

(Do it, Richie) Yo!

(Give it to me hard and fast, Rich)

You got it, Tone (Oh, well played)

(Make him some solo hits, cause he's a guitar hero, this man)

What a marvellous match!

It's a marvellous pitch!

What a marvellous game!

(Hook)

C'mon, I want to hear everybody

Let's really top it up

We're the commentary team and we reckon everything's marvellous

(Everything is marvellous!)

Marvellous!

Everything's marvellous!

Marvellous!

Everything's marvellous!

You know, it's M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

That's right, M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

(Marv-ah woah woah oh)

Marvellous! Marvellous!

Could you background singers keep it down, please?

Especially you, Snowy

Marvellous!

Yo!

Everything everything everything

Everything's marvellous! Everything's marvellous!

Yes, it's M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

Spell it out, M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

(Outro)

Hey, hey, back off a bit curly

This is our song

Marvellous!

Everything everything everything everything everything everything everything everything

Marvellous!

No, that's not a stammer, that's MCG Hammer, Bill!

(Yo, Richie)

Yo yourself!

Everything's marvellous!

Spell it out, M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

One more, M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

Marvellous!

(You okay, Rich?)

Marvellous!

I think everything's okay, Tony

Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is, yes, it's marvellous

Everything's marvellous!

Everything's M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

I said, M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

Yes, it's M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

That's right, it's M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

Everything's marvellous!

Everything's marvellous!

Everything's marvellous!

Everything's marvellous!

Everything's M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S

Yes, it's M-A-R-V-E-L-L-O-U-S<br />
