Eddie's Pie Army

[Mr Ripper]

For the benefit of the youngies, it's to the tune of Cher's 1971 hit "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves".

I was conceived in the back seat of a hot Monaro
Me Mum brought me up, Daddy was a no-show
Grandpa's doing a minimum of three
For brandishing a sawn-off
And holding up the Thomastown TAB

Eddie's Pie Army
It's scary when you realise there's millions of us
Eddies Pie Army
And come September we are rarely found
At the Melbourne Cricket Ground

I met Dennis Banks in the Preston lock-up
He showed me his tatt of the Premiership Cup
I was 14 , he was 33
We both like stealing buses
And we both beat our charges thanks to Frank Galbally

Eddie's Pie Army
It's scary when you realise there's millions of us
Eddies Pie Army
And come September we are rarely found
At the Melbourne Cricket Ground

The start of this season saw the Pies on fire
We won five on the trot
Nine weeks and we're in the mire
Dropping all the way down to fifteenth spot oh no!
We just can't stop the rot, oh no!

Now I sleep in the back seat of an old Monaro
The wife kept the house and the kids and my dough
At least I've still got Collingwood
We don't win many matches
So I'll be dining out on 1990 for good

Eddie's Pie Army
It's scary when you realise there's millions of us
Eddies Pie Army
And come September we are rarely found
At the Melbourne Cricket Ground

Youngies? I am 32; in relative terms, not young! I would have been 3 when this song was released. I have absolutely no idea how the song goes!

Nonetheless, another fine effort Mr. Ripper! All it needs is references to anyone that challenges Eddie having a broken nose!

This is a hallucination and these faces are in a dream. A computer generated environment; a fantasy island you can do anything and not have to face the consequences.

Yeah good one Mr Ripper,
That was the highlight of your day wasn't it? You must be very proud of yourself.

I never knew that Eddie owned a pie factory. What next.
