the 12th man - marvellous! lyrics

[intro]
(howzat!)
alright, fellas, are you feeling funky? are you feeling hip?
give me a “yo!” (yo!)
alright, i want everyone to move and groove
and shake their funky things a little bit (howzat!)
you got my guitar there, bill? (got it! yes! here you are, richie)
okay, let’s see what this little baby can do, let’s go!
ya+da+da+da
ya+da+da+da
(you know, richie, you really are a marvellous guitarist)
yeah, you like that, do you, tone?
yo! dig that groove
ya+da+da+da
alright, here we go
five, four, three, two

[verse 1]
welcome back here to the mcg
or the gabba, or the waca
or thе adelaide oval, or the scg
it doеsn’t matter where we are
down under in australia this summer
’cause when it’s summer in australia
if you don’t like cricket, i can tell you, it’s a real bummer, that
because cricket is the number one game in town (yo!)
just ask anyone around (yo!)
yo, boys, and from bondi in the east across to bunbury in the west
from darwin to the dandenongs, whatever your address might be
you can see me on the tv
well, not just me, but the commentary team
they’re sort of my boys, if you know what i mean
you know, i thought captaining australia was a pretty tough job
but i can tell you, it’s absolutely nothing
compared to looking after this mob
let me see, there’s bill and tony (morning, rich) (morning, all)
and greg and ian (yes, morning, rich)
and our special guests, sunil and tony c (good morning!)
and of course there’s me, and we say

[pre+chorus]
what a marvellous catch
that’s a marvellous shot
what a marvellous crowd, victorians
come on, fellas, let’s kick it!

[chorus]
we’re the commentary team and when we call the game
it’s marvellous
yes, everything’s marvellous
because it’s marvellous
yes, it’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s
that’s right, it’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s

[post+chorus]
yes, indeed, it really is
a marvellous effort, that

[verse 2]
you know, every summer night when my head hits the pillow
i drift off to sleep and i dream about leather (what?)
and willow, bill! and border, and booney
and deano, and moody, and taylor
just to name just a few of this super australian side
for season ’91–’92
(what about big merv?) yes, him too
(he’s a hero, this man) oh, come on
turn it up, bill, he might be to you
(well, he’s got a lot of guts) well, he eats too much food
hey, hey, you two, now, it doesn’t really matter
look, no one gives a stuff if big merv’s a little fatter
just as long as we’re thrashing those pakis or poms
or sri lanka, or the windies, doesn’t matter where they’re from
it might be india, south africa, zimbabwe, or new zealand
but if i don’t take a breath
i reckon i just might be keeling over soon
i’m trying to carry on and do my best
(c’mon, rich, you can’t afford to take a rest)
oh, struth! (c’mon, rich, we’ll get you through it)
oh, gee! (we know it’s hard, but you can do it)
ah, thanks a lot, fellas, think i’m okay
i’ll live another day to say

[pre+chorus]
what a marvellous stroke
and that’s a marvellous knock
what a marvellous throw
and that’s a marvellous ball
c’mon, everybody, cricket time!

[chorus]
we’re the commentary team and we reckon everything’s
marvellous (yeah, yeah, yeah)
yes, it’s marvellous (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
that’s right, it’s marvellous (woo)
that’s right, it’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s
you heard me, m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s

[post+chorus]
yes, indeed, it really is
a marvellous effort, that

[verse 3]
my name is richie, and i’m the king
i’m the king commentator, i’m the number one thing
and i’m a singer too, and i’m a jammer
and that’s when i become mcg hammer
and i feel a solo coming on, bill
(do it, richie) yo!
(give it to me hard and fast, rich) you got it, tone
(oh, well played)
(magnificent solo effort, this, he’s a guitar hero, this man)

[pre+chorus]
what a marvellous match
it’s a marvellous pitch
what a marvellous game
c’mon, i wanna hear everybody
let’s really top it up

[chorus]
we’re the commentary team and we reckon everything’s
marvellous (everything is marvellous!)
marvellous (everything’s marvellous!)
marvellous (everything’s marvellous!)
you know, it’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s
that’s right, m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s
(marv+ah, woah, woah, oh)
marv+va+va, marvellous
could you background singers keep it down a bit, please?
especially you, snowy (marvellous!)
yo! (everything’s, everything’s, everything’s)
dig it, marvellous (everything’s marvellous!)
yes, it’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s
spell it out, it’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s (woah!)
hey, hey, back off a bit, curly, this is our song
marvellous (everything, everything, everything, everything)
(everything, everything, everything, everything)
marvellous
no, that’s not a stammer, that’s mcg hammer, bill!
(yo, richie)
yo, yourself! (everything’s marvellous!)
spell it out, it’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s
one more, it’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s
(woah)
marvellous (you okay, rich?)
marvellous (i think everything’s okay, tony)
yes it is, yes it is, yes it is
yeah, it’s marvellous (everything’s marvellous!)
everything’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s
i said, it’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s
(woah)
yes, it’s marvellous (everything’s marvellous)
that’s right, it’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s (everything’s marvellous)
everything’s marvellous (everything’s marvellous)
everything’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s
yes, it’s m+a+r+v+e+l+l+o+u+s

[outro]
marvellous!
