Back on Track Again

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Oh what an ending!
It was heart-rending,
Though neither team was proud of their defending,
We’re still contending,
Oh yeah,
We’re back on track again.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 First Jayo hatched it,
Then Dublin matched it,
But almost from the re-start, Buzzer snatched it.
How he despatched it!
Oh yeah,
We’re back on track again.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Though in the drama,
The Reds were calmer,
For they’d been reading all about the Dalai Lama.
Who’s Carlton Palmer?
Oh yeah,
We’re back on track again.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 We sang hosannas
And went bananas,
And proudly waved our hats and scarves and banners.
Though critics pan us,
Oh yeah,
We’re back on track again.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Though it was bruising,
And, yes, confusing,
At the end of it, we found it so amusing.
We’re done with losing,
Oh yeah,
We’re back on track again.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 It was outrageous,
Quite advantageous,
Anybody there found it contagious.
It was courageous,
Oh yeah,
We’re back on track again.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 It was delicious
And quite auspicious,
It was better than a fortnight in Mauritius.
Though it was vicious,
Oh yeah,
We’re back on track again.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 It was delightful.
Cork found it frightful,
And many of their fans are somewhat spiteful.
Our cup is quite full,
Oh yeah,
We’re back on track again.
