Re: Not sure if you've seen this..
Great song. I even tried to adjust some of the lyrics myself. I'm not even a Cats fan, and it gives me goosebumps.
Here's what I came up with anyway.
My son will arrive on Saturday
He'll dominate the game in a usual way
There are goals to kick and a game to play
Mark Williams will rather be watching getaway
And he'll be celebrating before I know it
He'll say I knew I was gonna be like you, Dad
You knew I was gonna be like you
And the Cats at the 'G lookin for a flag
The silver cup that eluded his dad
You're comin home with the cup and I know when
You know we're gonna celebrate then
You know we're gonna celebrate then
In '89 the weather was warm
Dad kicked nine and took home Norm
The game was rough, and it was tight
Come the final siren things hadn't gone right
We had fallen a minor six points short
Come Saturday we're gonna thump Port
I knew I was gonna be like you, Dad
You knew I was gonna be like you
And the Cats at the 'G lookin for a flag
The silver cup that eluded his dad
You're comin home with the cup and I know when
You know we're gonna celebrate then
You know we're gonna celebrate then
It was '63 since the Cats last won
Bobby Davis was the favourite son
Now the time has come at Corio Bay
To lift the cup on Saturday
When you comin home, son, I know when
We will celebrate then, Dad
You know we'll celebrate then
And the Cats at the 'G lookin for a flag
The silver cup that eluded his dad
You're comin home with the cup and I know when
You know we're gonna celebrate then
You know we're gonna celebrate then
I'm in the Hall of Fame
My son's on the way
He'll own the 'G on Saturday
You can bring home Norm, I won't mind
I'm sure you'd even bring it home if you were blind
You see, I have a date on Monday night
The bookies think I'm gonna do alright
Think I'm gonna do alright
Dad, you weren't the umpires' choice
But if you ask the Captain Tom Harley
He'll tell you I'll take home Charlie
And the Cats at the 'G lookin for a flag
The silver cup that eluded his dad
You're comin home with the cup and I know when
You know we're gonna celebrate then
You know we're gonna celebrate then
