Some sporting `A’ songs in the complete Warner song list

Still on the treadmill of `A’ in the complete Warner catalogue I’m bundling three songs together. Okay, only one is totally original, the other two relying on a traditional Aussie folk song. So here we go with Archer Number One David King Number Two, Average Down Arden St Way

and Average Down Kogarah Way. At least something for North Melbourne Kangaroo AFL fans, and St George fans in the NRL.

AVERAGE DOWN KOGARAH WAY

Farewell to the fifties forever

Farewell to those halcyon days

Farewell to Raper and Reg Gasnier

We’re average down Kogarah way

Once upon a time our Dragons ruled

We won eleven straight

Then along came Cronulla and stuffed us up

Now we’re average down Kogarah way

Oh we’ve lost that killer mentality

We stuff up our passes and plays

And we concede too many penalties

We’re average down Kogarah way

Now with Albert we might just get better

We’re youthful we’ve got Steve Linnane

But we’re still a poor shadow of what we were When we were the team of Clive James

Gone are the cheers of yesteryear

Gone are those halcyon days

Now all we’ve got is Jade Hurley

Murdering Frankie’s `My Way’

ARCHER NUMBER ONE KING NUMBER TWO

You ask the coaches who would be first picked

In a team to play the devil for their soul real quick

They’ll tell you that the fellas play in royal blue and white

And then sleep soundly for the whole long night

‘Cause you got no worries when you got these Roos

Glenn Archer number one and David King number two.

Now they might be stars but they’re still team guys

Which is why you want ‘em when the chips are fried

Other teams can drool with envy at those Kangaroos

It’s unfair having one let alone having two

They’re smashing through a pack make it seem like fun

King number two and Archer number one

Glenn Archer number one

David King number two

Those are the guys you want

When your back’s to the wall

And you need that ball

Glenn Archer number one

David King number two

‘Cause you got no worries when you got these Roos

Glenn Archer number one David King number two.
