Shane Warne, well known to history
Shane Warne, bowler of mystery
Whenever he came
up to the wicket
Chains come off of the game of cricket
He had the leg spin,
the flipper and googly
He came on the scene in 1992
Those Indian batsmen
taught him a thing or two
His fellows said he don't stand a chance
But soon he began to make the
ball dance in Sri Lanka,
he first showed his colors true.
Manchester, England, 1993,
he bowled what they call the
ball of the century.
Mike Gatting looked up,
struck as dumb as a post
Walked from the crease
like he'd just seen a ghost
Shane Warne's first ashes delivery
From that time on,
he played with the batsman's mind
From Brisbane to Durban,
he had them in such a bind
To go forward or back, to play or abstain
In tensely the pressure
built up in the brain
And always the chirping
from be hind the ball
chain
Mr. Warner on phone,
sent a lot of texts
He liked to have quite a lot of sex
Took a prohibited pill to
lose his love handles
Said mum gave it to me,
it was a terrible scandal,
you wonder what would
one he'd do next.
Shane Warne,
truly a spotting magi cian,
always played like a man
on a mission.
Whenever he came in to bat or ball,
he believed in his power
s to take control,
even when he was not in the
peak of condition.
Ah!
Shane wore a bow
with his friend Glen Mc Grath
In Sydney they took their last hurrah
Now Ponting and Taylor,
Steve Waugh all agreed
To have two such men
that were lucky indeed
Shane Waugh and his
good friend Glen Mc Grath
Ooh, ah
