24 Years (Webb Ellis)- A parody of Living Next Door To Alice
Heimlich Manouvre in the Park
Arrangement- Seth
(WARNING- slight coarse language)
A
Helen Clark called, when she got the word,
D
And she said,'I suppose you've heard',
E A
About Webb Ellis,
A
We pulled a few strings,
And put forward our case,
D
You should've seen the look on Trevor Mellard's face,
E A
When the IRB said, Webb Ellis is yours,
Chorus:
A
Oh, I don't know how we did it,
It should've been Japan,
D
I guess they have their reasons but I just don't give a damn,
E
'Cause for 24 years,
A
We've been trying to get our hands on Webb Ellis,
A
Ellis, where the f**k's Webb Ellis?
A
24 years, waiting for the chance,
D
We're thrashing everbody the we go and lose to France,
E
Now we're strolling back home,
A
We'll surely get our hands on Webb Ellis,
A
In '91, we went down in a heap,
D
We tried to come easy,
E
But that fail's a creep!
A
Oh, Webb Ellis was gone
A
In '95, we saw Jonah smash Kat,
D
But a burger from Susie put an end to all that,
E
And a kick from Joe Stranskty,
D
Took Webb Ellis away,
Chorus:
A
Now, I know we may sound manic,
And really quite a bore,
D
But the pain of always failing's just as bad as bruise and sore,
E A
For 24 years, we've been trying to get our hands on Webb Ellis,
A
Ellis, where the f**k's Webb Ellis?
A
24 years, waiting for the chance,
D
We're thrashing everybody then we go and lose to France,
E
Now we're strolling back home,
D
We'll surely get our hands on Webb Ellis,
A
In '99 we got a few bad calls,
D
Then the frogs got hold of our balls,
E
Ahahahaha! Au revoir, Webb Ellis
A
'03 in Australia was a bit of a shock,
D
When Carlos passed to that ball git what lock,
E
And Georgie said,
N.C.
Ya got 4 more years, mate
Chorus:
A
And then we had '07,
It turned into a fuss,
D
When that blind, phoney bastard didn't see that forward pass,
E A
And for 24 years, we still haven't seen Webb Ellis,
A
Ellis, where the f**k's Webb Ellis?
A
24 years, waiting for the chance,
D
We're thrashing everybody then we go and lose to France,
E
Now it's coming back home,
A
We'll surely get our hands on Webb Ellis,
A D E A
Now we'll never get used to not getting our hands on Webb Ellis
