This song came out on Foxtrot at the weekend, I think it is well worth sharing.
It goes to the tune of "Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz"



Foreman's Prayer

Oh Lord won't ya teach us a new four man dance
We've lost all our members, we don't stand a chance
Tried hard through the winter to get us some more
So Lord won't ya teach us a dance just for four

Oh Lord won't ya teach us a dance just for two
We're down to 3 members, Just me him & you
If you play the music I'm sure we'll get through
So Lord won't you teach us a dance just for two

Oh Lord won't ya teach me a jig just for me
My friend's at the doctors', he's twisted his knee
Should be the A music – but you played the B
So do me a favour a jig just for me

Oh Lord won't you teach us a dance that's for ten
With and ad in the paper we've gained us some men
It's almost the summer we'll dance out again
So Lord won't ya teach us a dance that's for ten
