Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Football Crazy
Subject: RE: Football Crazy
I have an old Riverside recording of Football Crazy. I'll give you the chorus off the top of my head... I'll dig it out and give you the rest later. "He's football crazy' Completly off his head His right shin bone is fractured And he's lookin' very bad His jaws are droppin inwards now (can't remember the next line) Since Greasey took a notion for To join a football club.

There's something in there about, "The judges bein' gentlemen went off to have their tea" and "He slaughtered every Kerry man who threatened not to yield" and "Once again poor Greasey was flung headlong in the ditch."

More later.
