Come on Aussie, come on
2 years ago, at the end of September
Slick left a comment which was rather curious:
Its been a long time commin’
To silence all that drummin’
To show them that it wasn’t just a dreamThey’ve beaten all the rest you know
And proven they’re the best you know
The greatest team to wear the baggy greenPigeon’s pounding down like a machine
Dizzy’s scarin’ batsmen - lookin’ mean
Gilly’s gettin’ wickets
Punter’s clearin’ pickets
And Warney’s just the best we’ve ever seenCome on Aussie, come on, come on
Come on Aussie, come onNight or day, they’re out to make us proud
To keep our flags a-wavin’ in the crowd
Even gettin’ zeroes
They’ll always be our heroes
And keep us singin’ come on just as loudCome on Aussie, come on, come on
Come on Aussie, come on, come on
Come on Aussie, come on, come on
Come on Aussie, come onSee ‘em sprayin’ leather at the bat
Sweetly crackin’ winners through the gap
They’re not just gettin’ runs
They’re out there smashin’ tons
Spinnin’ big time records back to backCome on Aussie, come on, come on
Come on Aussie, come onAll summer we’ll go floodin’ through the gates
To try and get a look at cricket’s greats
No matter what the season
We always have a reason
To shout out come on Aussie with our matesCome on Aussie, come on, come on
Come on Aussie, come on, come on
Come on Aussie, come on, come on
Come on Aussie, come on
Is this a well-known tune or a new one? I know the “Come on Aussie, come on” line but the rest seems new to me
