lyrics

WILCANNIA FOOTBALL TEAM
G C
1. THERE ARE A RUGBY FOOTBALL TEAM / FROM WILCANNIA TOWN
D7 G
THE PEOPLE COME TO SEE THEM PLAY THEY COME FROM MILES AROUND
G G7 C
WHEN ITS TIME TO START THE GAME / SPECTATATORS WATCH WITH GLEE
D7 G
AND THE ONLY ONE WHO GIVES COMMAND AND THAT’S THE REFEREE
C G
THEY CALL THEMSELVES THE BOOMERANGS THE FINEST EVER SEEN
D7 G
AND PEOPLE ARE A SHOUTING FOR WILCANNIA RED AND GREEN
G C D7 G
CH: LET’S TAKE A TOAST FOR WILCANNIA AND ONE FOR THE CLOUD THAT PASSES BY
G G7 C D7 G
LETS TAKE A TOAST AND WE’LL MAKE THE MOST IN PLAIN OLD DINKY DI

2. THEY KNOW WHEN THEY ARE BEATEN/ COS THEY ALWAYS LET IT SHOW
ONLY TWO MORE TRIES TO WIN AND FIFTEEN MINUTES TO GO
SOME PEOPLE STARTED BETTING/WHILE THE OTHERES CHEERED AND SCREAMED
COS WE ARE WILCANNIA’S NUMBER ONE /WILCANNIA’S RED AND GREEN

CH: SO LET’S TAKE A TOAST…
