Absolute Ripper (Got this from Big Footy)

[Jeffers1984]

Ode to Carlton - to the tune of Bohemiam Rhapsody by Queen


Is Carlton in strife
Is it just bankruptcy
We're such a bad side
No cash and no equity
All the dough's at the Pies
All ours went to Craig Bradley

Laughed at the poor clubs, gave them no sympathy
Cos it was easy come, Fitzroy go
We were high, Saints were low
Our salaries were too high, doesnt really matter, if you cheat
If you cheat

Kouta, Once thrilled the fans
SOS hid the cash under his bed
Now we're 7 million in the red

Kouta, no one made a sound
Then Steve O'Reilly went and blabbed his mouth away

Kouta, oooooooo
Lance and Campo bled us dry
And Fev took us for every red cent we could borrow
Caro moans, Caro moans, and Lance is getting fatter

Too late, the time has come
Meeting Andy D at nine
Beg for money and we'll be fine
Good times for everybody, from the other clubs
Gonna leave us way behind to take the spoon

Kouta, ooooooo
The Blues dont wanna die
We sometimes wish Jack had never been born at all
Caro moans, Caro moans, but cheating doesnt matter

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Got the hooch? Got the hooch? Can you sell to Lawrence Angwin
Thunderbolt and Lightening, bad Es are very frightening, me-
Pagan Collo, Pagan Collo
Pagan Collo, Pagan Collo
Pagan Collo, figuro-magnificoach
Im just a poor coach nobody loves me
Hes a just poor coach, with a bloody massive fee
Recycled list, its a monstrosity
Easy come easy go, hock our ass like a ho
Bismillah! no - we will not be a ho - be a ho
Bismillah! no - we will not be a ho - be a ho
Bismillah! no - we will not be a ho - be a ho
Will not be a ho. Be a ho
Will not be a ho. Be a ho
no, no , no, no, no, no,no
mama mia mama mia mama mia be a ho
Jack said the club has 3 mill in paper bags for me, for me, for me.....

So you think that we're crooks and deserve to fry
So you think you can laugh and leave us to die
Oh Andy, show us the money Andy
Cos we got our hand out, we'll have our hand out for 10 years

Cheating doesnt matter
Anyone can see
Cheating doesnt matter, cheating doesnt matter, to Andy D
(any way the wind blows)

I agree got a good laugh.

But we will be back

Funny. The author should do an ode with every other club. Can't wait to hear the Collingwood one.

That's excellent - who knew such creativity lurked on the BF board?

Alas, such creativity on BF would be like pearls cast before swine.

Swings and round-a-bouts. I remember a team that once couldn't win and had no money.

Sure but when its not happening to your team and instead is happening to one of your most despised teams, there's only one thing to do - ENJOY!

And especially nice to remember how that team treated you while you were down too.

Yes voting to have us wound up in the early nineties was not a nice thing to do. Not a nice thing to do at all. Stay in the cellar blues where you belong

I reckon Carlton should be relegated to the VFL.

Gee what did the VFL do to deserve that heinous fate
