Let me tell you about Ed
He's a cricket playing dog
A magician with the ball
and with the bat he is no mug
My best figures against him
one off 32
and you'll be laughing at me
until he bowls a wrong-un at you
Well I had my mates around
for a cricket barbeque
but I tied up Ed
'coz I didn't want them
to know what he could do
My mate Jimmy Birch,
he was on fire, he smashed us all to hell
Then Eddie broke his bloody chain
to give himself a spell
Eddie took the ball in his mouth
and he measured out his run
All my mates were laughing
to see such fun
He bowled the ball to Jimmy
but there was nothing that Jim could do
Up went the finger for middle and leg
LBW
Well Jim wasn't very happy
'coz he was the captain of our side
He always knew that the day would come
when he'd call himself retired
Maybe at the hands of a younger man
who's better at the job
but no one saw him coming
the cricket genius dog.
These days me and Ed
we're watching cricket all the time
I come home from work, he's got the T.V
tuned to channel nine.
And he watches very closely
Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath
Lucky for them he's only a dog
they don't know how lucky they are.
