I was trying out for the high school cricket team
Dream one day I'd be wearing that Baggy Green
I gave it all I got
When we were done the coach
Called me over and said
Sorry son
But you can't bowl and you can't throw
I'm just telling you what everybody knows
Absolute sitters you put down
All the tail-enders hit you out of the ground
Don't ask Warnie, it was cameraman Joe
He'll say you can't bowl and you can't throw
I went for an audition down at Channel 9
Richie's job, well it was gonna be mine
They sent a message on the auto queue
Thanks for coming, and we'll call you
But you can't bowl and you can't throw
I'm just telling you what everybody knows
Absolute sitters you put down
All the tail-enders hit you out of the ground
Don't ask Warnie, it was cameraman Joe
He'll say you can't bowl and you can't throw
Well I met this good looker down at the local bar
And I told her she was talking to this big time cricket star
I told her my stats, and I dropped my name
She said, never heard of you
And I hate that game
But you can't bowl and you can't throw
I'm just telling you what everybody knows
Absolute sitters you put down
All the tail-enders hit you out of the ground
Don't ask Warnie, it was cameraman Joe
He'll say you can't bowl and you can't throw
I'm just telling you what everybody knows
Absolute sitters you put down
All the tail-enders hit you out of the ground
Don't ask Warnie, it was cameraman Joe
He'll say you can't bowl and you can't throw
Can't bowl can't throw
Can't bowl can't throw
Can't bowl can't throw
