The Aussies are Coming

The Aussies are coming to Lansdowne tonight,
Meself and the young lad are going,
Which, in itself, is a reason that we
Won’t put on a very good showing.

The Aussies are coming to Lansdowne tonight,
With two who play for Glasgow Rangers.
We aren’t allowed boo, so we’ll cheer them instead,
And make some new friends out of strangers.

The Aussies are coming to Lansdowne tonight,
The famous, improved Socceroos,
And rumour is rife, for an hour and a half,
They’ll manage to stay off the booze.

The Aussies are coming to Lansdowne tonight,
I don’t mean those rugby impostors.
Brian’s prepared well, and has a game plan-
Deliver a crateful of Fosters.

The Aussies are coming to Lansdowne tonight,
Scwartzer, Viduka and Kewell,
Though doubtless the latter will not have improved
Since he joined up with Heskey at ‘Pewell.

The Aussies are coming to Lansdowne tonight,
We’ll show them a lot of respect,
For the last time they played in these islands, of course,
Poor En-ger-land’s chances were wrecked.

The Aussies are coming to Lansdowne tonight,
What cards will Dame Providence deal us?
But we shouldn’t go gambling or take any risks,
We’d better all lock up our Sheilas.

The Aussies are coming to Lansdowne tonight,
Meself and the young lad are going,
We’re wearing our t-shirts, so come half past eight,
Its bound to be raining or snowing.
