canarybubbles 1,946 Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Those of a certain vintage can sing along if they wish Right said Smith, both of us together Get this club to where they wanna go. Couldn't shift it, couldn't even lift it, We was getting nowhere and so we had a mug of tea Right said Smith, get a call to Pukki Up pops Teemu like the perfect pro Heavy lumping, lots of Pukki jumping, We was getting nowhere and so we had a mug of tea And Shakey had a think and he said 'Look Dean If we replace the small boys With lots of muscled tall boys With a hopeful punt We can hit the guy upfront.' Right said Smith, now that Idah's injured On the ground is where we have to go Got the ball down Sargent had to fall down We was getting nowhere and so we had a mug of tea Right said Smith, give me a Brazilian But his barber wouldn't scrape so low Crocked Brazilian Cost us several million We was getting nowhere and so we had a mug of tea And Shakey had a think and he said, 'Look Dean I got a sorta notion With loads of clueless motion We can plug that hole We might even score a goal.' Right said Smith, Soccerbot's the answer That will tell me what I wanna know Wiring sizzled, lots of hair got frizzled, Spoiling Deano's flat top, and so Pukki and me had his final mug of tea And then he went home.

Greavsy 2,430 Posted August 1, 2022 Very timely OP, given Mr Cribbins passing just last week. I must confess i was surprised at the news, as I thought he had already passed! Always enjoyed watching him when I was youngster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cribbins was very talented. His performance as the pedantic and rather odd travelling salesman in Fawlty Towers is brilliant. I'm starting to think there are possibilities for a song about Webber based on Digging a Hole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give it a bit more substance so it is chant worthy, then put it in a thread (I can show you how if you’re not sure how to start one?) and then see how it takes. OR, just let a very nicely written post, which pays tribute to Bernard Cribbins while simultaneously getting a shed load of likes, allow its own bit of limelight? I can see you hadn’t even liked it, you just went straight in with ‘I know a George Ezra song that says yellow and green’. I saw it on another thread, I didn’t miss it, I definitely got it, I just didn’t think it’s had much effort put into it to make it work. In the meantime, nice work bubbles.
