Put your sandpaper in, & then pull your sandpaper out. Put your sandpaper in, & then pull your sandpaper out.

It's a Nuclear Mark Waugh, It's a Nuclear Mark Waugh, It's a Nuclear Mark Waugh, It's a Nuclear Mark Waugh. Don't you rotate that strike. & when he punches it through covers, your ass has gotta go. It's a Nuclear Mark Waugh.

Tell me, how does your drive to cover face? Do single figures a total make? & does your arse just ache? Why swipe at those that fly down leg side? A gilded edge for a caught behind, No need to raise your bat sky high. Well, you CA selectors love you Swampy Boys, More than me, As though we have no other choice, You belt in from the Wheat, You say a Marshy boy, Should never face the axe of the Head, but the SOS is just for you, for your test total was 3. Tell me, how are you coping? Now it's time to sit, How can your ass burn more? It's been burning for years, Yeah, you knew all along, The Subcontinent was wrong, Was your indifferent innings cruller, Than your incontinence? Well, you CA selectors love you Swampy Boys, More than me, As though we have no other choice, You belt in from the Wheat, You say a Marshy boy, Should never face the axe of the Head, but the SOS is just for you, for your test total was 3.

Sometimes it's just being zen, & the art of team maintenance, Sometimes we forget, we're all the same, Just trying to dig out a wicket. Justin handed me 'The Power of Now', When all I needed was a glove somehow. Well, when we win the series, with 8 wickets in hand, Uzi & the Swamp Boys, Will join in the band, Hazey leads the chorus, while Gary's tenor soars above us ("Nice one, Gary!") Champagne for my real friends, & real pain for my sham friends.
