The Baggy Green Songtext

von John Williamson

A ball through the window worne patch of grass
Harvers in the backyard worth the pains of glass
Ya head full of heros with cricket every day
Could it be that baggy cap would come your way
Dont give up no dont give up never loose the dream
Its better than a crown of jewels To wear the baggy green
Batters take the center bowlers hit the seam
You never take for granted the baggy green
A bad LBW brings about a fight
Mum from the kitchen always makes it right
Play resumes you dream again you hear em scream a shout
You wish the day would never end your still not out
Dont give up no dont give up never loose the dream
Its better than a crown of jewels To wear the baggy green
Batters take the center bowlers hit the seam
You never take for granted the baggy green
(Spoken)
See the crest resembles me and you
The green and gold of course the emu and the roo
Just the feel of felt sends a shiver down your spine
You pinch your self you cant belive its really mine
Dont give up no dont give up never loose the dream
Its better than a crown of jewels To wear the baggy green
Batters take the center bowlers hit the seam
You never take for granted the baggy green
First sesion every test the aussies can be seen
To show their pride and pay respect upon the baggy green
And all the aussies on the street who understand the game
Know that if they wore the cap they would feel the same
Dont give up no dont give up never loose the dream
Its better than a crown of jewels To wear the baggy green
Batters take the center bowlers hit the seam
You never take for granted the baggy green
No dont give up no dont give up never loose the dream
Its better than a crown of jewels To wear the baggy green
Batters take the center bowlers hit the seam
You never take for granted the baggy green
No you never take for granted the baggy green
