I imagine I’m Brett Lee
Batsmen are afraid of me
Faster than your eye can see
With my cricket ball.
Mitch Johnson, nice to meet you
Wickets? Yeah, I’ll take a few
Here comes my mo, my sleeve tattoo
And my cricket ball.
Ooh and Aah, I’m Glenn McGrath
Want a Hat-trick? There you are
Double digits, au revoir
I’ve got my cricket ball.
Now I’m Warney, king of spin
“HOWZAT!” I roar with a grin
Await your duck, I’m here to win
Beware my cricket ball.
