Sing along with The Hawks

[Rosy]

Thanks to TigerTank for the following 2 songs. As always top quality stuff.

Ode to The Hawks
To the tune of LYING EYES, by The EAGLES

Hawthorn fans, they start to go home early
They leave the M-C-G in single file
Nine goals up, they shouldn't have had to worry
They shake their weary heads as in denial

Late in day, the Hawk fans start gettin' shitty
I guess every footy supporter has his pride
And they bag their boys without fear or pity
As the Tigers over run the Hawks just like a tide.

"You can't hide that you ain't tried
No hardball-gets when you run out wide
Surprised by now Schwab hasn't died
There ain't no way to hide that you ain't tried"

Two weeks hence the Hawkers are at Telstra
Fronting against the poor old Kangaroos
The Hawks surrender like a squad of France's troopers
They leave the Dome to sound of their supporters' boos

"You can't hide that you ain't tried
No hardball-gets when you run out wide
Surprised by now Schwab hasn't died
There ain't no way to hide that you haven't tried"

To the tune of PIANO MAN, by BILLY JOEL


It's 7.18 on a Friday night
The Glenferrie crowd shuffles up
There's a 30-something bloke standing next to me
Drinking Fanta from a clear plastic cup

He shouts "Crawf can you play like a footballer
I'm not really sure if you'll heed
But I'm sick of defeat
And you used to compete
When I wore a younger man's tweed"

Oh La dee-da dee-dee da
Da-dee da da-dee-da

"Play like a bloke will you Shaney-boy
Play hard at the ball tonight
Don't prance like a chick
Giving your hair a quick flick
And check if your make-up's on right

Well Mocca is a B-grade accountant
Who gets blotto when drinking light beer
And he's talking to Troopy
Who's a real Trent Croad groupie
And probably still will be next year

And the Hawk fans they sound like Kew Council
And their chants are as sad as the Dees
They shout with one voice
"Bring back All-an Joyce
Or our pets won't pay membership fees

Oh play like a bloke will you Shaney-boy
Stop trying to play for a free
Be as brave as a soldier
Cause it's not 'House of Bolger'
And you're not dancing with Roc-chic-cioli"

Tonight would be a good time to post these at Hawk Headquarters ;D.

All their pets are chewing up their memberships .

 

[TigersGoddess]

We're not a happy team at hawthorn
we're the sooking, crying hawks
;D

 

[Rosy]

The sad thing is I feel a bit sorry for the Hawks. Sympathy is the ultimate insult I reckon.
A team needs to be feared and hated by the opposition, not pitied.
Go Tiges.
