sorry Billy

[roobear]

Most of these thoughts were in my head before I turned on Billy Joel's greatest hits...


**to the tune of “Always a woman”

They can win with no money
They can lose and stay proud
They can host West Coast Eagles
Without any crowd
And the on field success
is there since ninety three
Call themselves kanga’s
But they’re always North Melbourne to me

They can change tops for cash
They can play games in Sydney
They might stay white and blue
It depends on who’s bidding
They prefer volunteers
Because they are free
Yeah, Manuka’s lovely
But they’re always North Melbourne to me

{Refrain}
Oh, they take care of the stars
Mick can stay if he wants
Yeah he’s still got some time
Oh, and they’ll leave Shagga out
Till he pulls his head in
And goes home before nine.

And they'll look for supporters in the mansions and ghettos
Then they'll switch to the Docklands
Cause they’re stuffed in Broadmeadows
They’re committed to Canberra
Till twenty oh-three
Don’t say A.C.T. Roos
'Cause they’re always North Melbourne to me

{Refrain}

The grandstand is condemned
And the Gym is stuffed up
Paid for with the money
From our first Escort Cup
But we can't get a new one
Even with Mike Easy
Now the best he can do
Is delete “Kangaroos”
Coz they’re always North Melbourne to me.
