Australian Pie

A long, long time ago, I can still remember

How that cricket used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance

I’d shine the cherry on my pants

And maybe get to bowl just for a while

But Newlands, Cape Town made me shiver

With every ball Starc would deliver

Even with reverse swing

His yorker had a hollow ring

I can’t remember if I cried

When I heard that Cam Bancroft had lied

About the tape that he’d applied

The day

That cricket

Died

So why, why, did you think you should try

Steven Smith it was a myth that you were such a nice guy

Looking for an edge when you’re chucking a pie

Singing, they won’t be liking this in Dubai

They won’t be liking this in Dubai

Did you ask Boof what he thought

Did he really think you would not be caught

He’s an idiot if so

Now once the ball had lost its shine

Did you think if you headbutted the line

That you’d probably get away with just a fine?

Well I know you thought to lose was worse

Than to try some tricks to get reverse

So he hid tape down his daks

And denied the blatant facts

You were a lonely captain in baggy green

Hoping to keep your repuation clean

But we saw it all on the big screen

The day

The cricket

Died

And we were singing

Why, why, did you think you should try

Steven Smith it was a myth that you were such a nice guy

Looking for an edge when you’re chucking a pie

Singing, they won’t be liking this in Dubai

They won’t be liking this in Dubai
