The Great Bamboozler!
1, choo, 3, 4
When he was born, in his hand was a dart
He would go on to revive an alchemical art
Clarrie Grimmett and Richie Benaud came before him
And he became the king of leg spin bowling
He could turn a ball two and a half feet and lead into gold
That's how he became the best in the world
His name was Shane Keith Warne,
(that's what they called him when he was born)
But we called him Warnie and he was always in form!
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Rip it in! King of Spin!
Rip it in! King of Spin!
Rip it in! King of Spin!
Rip it in! King of Spin!
First ball in test cricket in England for Shane Warne
He's done it!
He's started off with the most beautiful delivery
Gatting has absolutely no idea what has happened to it
He still doesn't know
He asked Kenny Palmer on the way out
Kenny Palmer just gave him a raised eyebrow and a little nod
And that's all it needed
Shane Warne had the greatest balls in the world
And he was the main character in the greatest stories ever told
They say he was just an average bloke
Who loved a beer, a pie and a smoke
He invented Mystery Balls and lasagne sandwiches
And he decimated test teams on the world's greatest pitches
He could bowl flippers, and zooters and googlies and doosras
And that's why they called him the great bamboozler!
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Rip it in! King of Spin!
Rip it in! King of Spin!
Rip it in! King of Spin!
Rip it in! King of Spin!
How, how, how Howzat!?
I bowled the ball, you missed it all Howzat?
And now that I know how you bat, it's goodbye!
Well howzat? It's goodbye!
