Are there any cricket fans here tonight?
There's got to be a few.
Okay, well this is a little ditty I wrote that they played on air but I've never recorded it, you see, so I thought I'd better put it down.
And it was all about the incident involving Dennis Lilley when the Pakistan team was out here last.
You may remember the incident.
If you've forgotten, well, this song will remind you.
McEnroe was also making a bit of noise at the time, so I threw him into the song very briefly.
They're putting on a show, [C] Lilley and McEnroe.
No publicity is bad [F] publicity, listen to them talking on the radio.
[C] I read it on the very front page [F] and Brian [C] told me so.
It's not as much fun when they get to number one and start putting on a show.
Now we know we can't win, but it's a very great scene.
When that bloody big Lilley go running down the wicket [C] start kicking the captain on the bloody [G] ship.
Pakistan's got the wrong kind of runs, Lilley has got to go.
It's not as much fun when they get to number one and start putting on a show.
Chapel lost his good luck charm, his brother bowls underarm.
The Kiwis were disgusted, Chapel's bubble busted and now he's still got his little duck farm.
It's not over yet, but what about Rodney Marsh?
He's like a rock and I call him the claw.
No one in the ashes [Am] has seen so many [F] streakers, no one's caught so many balls [E] behind before.
But no one [C] plays the game like me, in my armchair with colour TV.
I slice a leg of ham square, cut the bread and jam and hook my jam and band around a cold KB.
I sing along while they're putting on a show, Lilley and McEnroe.
No publicity is bad publicity, listen to them talking on [G] the radio.
