me and said he would do a song for us... and did he ever!
when you hear it you will appreciate what work has gone into it.
I'm sure you will agree and join me in saying an enormous
thank you to Paul (that's sibly for you message
board regulars)
Takin' over the world...
hear it here
then minimise your media player box so you can read the following lyrics...
I once met a man, confessed to be one
Of the limey, pom, scotty dogs from over the pond
He went on for hours 'bout the wembley towers
With The Times in his pocket and a voice like James Bond
Voice like James BondI encountered a Pole at a watering hole
Said it wasn't like the "craic" that Paddy's Bar gets in town
So I talked to him gentle, increasingly mental
And preached him the magic of a Welsh Triple Crown
Welsh Triple Crown
And as the dragons take their flight....We're takin' over the world, bit by bit
The cyberworld, in our red-green kit
Forget your scottish highlands, obsession with Ireland
Who needs a pint of guiness when you've got Brains?
We got the world, by the scruff of the neck
The w-w-world, and we don't give a heck
Forget your Lorraine Kelly, Vanessa Felz
Who needs the morning telly when there's WorldWideWelsh?When I'm feeling dejected, my thoughts all reflected
I find my mind go back to all the places I love
The weather is shite, but the people are nice
And I know this place I come from is like heaven above
Heaven above
And you're cut by a thorn, of the roses forlorn
The thistle rips into your lip and brings you to tears
The shamrock's a figment of a sickly green pigment
But daffodils don't die: they come back each year
Come back each year
And as the dragons take their flight...We're takin' over the world, bit by bit
The cyberworld, in our red-green kit
Forget your scottish highlands, obsession with Ireland
Who needs a pint of guiness when you've got Brains?
We got the world, by the scruff of the neck
The w-w-world, and we don't give a heck
Forget your Lorraine Kelly, Vanessa Felz
Who needs the morning telly when there's WorldWideWelsh?
We love the 1, 2, 3, 4 River Severn
We love the welsh cakes, rarebit, bread of heaven
(repeat to fade)
