When I Play for the County
When I grow up I'm gonna play county
All the girls will be all about me
March behind the Artane boys band
Climb the steps of the Hogan stand
Sam Maguire, Liam McCarthy
When I play for the county
We'll be training hard
No more chocolate bars
Gym in the morning, getting up early
Busting a gut with pride in the jersey
Can you shoot left and right?
Can you score goals and points? (Yeah)
I've got no time for girls (I do)
I just want helmets and hurls
Training hard, getting fitter
Sleeping with my hurley and sliotar
When I grow up I'm gonna play county
All the girls will be all about me
March behind the Artane boys band
Climb the steps of the Hogan stand
Chicken fillets and broccoli
When I play for the county (oh lord)
People will know my name (they will)
But I don't care about fame
Ah sure all the same
Be grand to see meself on the Sunday game (again)
Make the big breakthrough
A March league debut
New tracksuits and gear
This could be our year
Throwing them over from 60 yards
I might even get meself an all-star
When I grow up I'm gonna play county
All the girls will be all about me
March behind the Artane boys band
Climb the steps of the Hogan stand
Sam Maguire, Liam McCarthy
When I play for the county (oh)
There'll be long trips home
Defeats and broken bones (oh, me knee)
Now you're getting older
Watch out for that hefty shoulder (ow)
Big ball, small ball any code
We just want to make it to Jones' road
When I grow up I'm gonna play county
All the girls will be all about me
March behind the Artane boys band
Climb the steps of the Hogan stand
Sam Maguire, Liam McCarthy
When I play for the county
When I play for the county (two johnnies, big ball, small ball)
When I play for the county (whooo)
When I play for the county
(Ahh, Ahh you're unreal, ahh you're class, you're class yahh
Ahh I love you ahh, yahh I'm jim-bob Ryan yahh)
All the girls will be all about me
March behind the Artane boys band
Climb the steps of the Hogan stand
Sam Maguire, Liam McCarthy
When I play for the county
We'll be training hard
No more chocolate bars
Gym in the morning, getting up early
Busting a gut with pride in the jersey
