'We are the champions' is probably one of the most popular songs among dumb sports fans, who actually believe that Freddie, Brian and the boys wrote it just for THEIR team! However, even the dumbest Indian cricket fan would have trouble believing that the famous lyrics could be appropriate for the Men in Blue. However, with just some slight modifications, the stalwarts at Son of Bosey have come up with, and are proud to present a ballad specially for our much-vaunted batting line-up. Enjoy, and don't forget to sing to the tune of 'We are the champions', by Queen.
We've made excuses,
Time after Time,
The team always loses,
Without reason or rhyme
And bad mistakes
Well, more than a few
We've had our share of chances thrown our way
but we've got screwed
We are not champions, my friends
We'll keep in-fighting till the end
We aren't champions,
We'll ne-er be champions
No time for practice
So we won't be champions
Of the world
We've gone out to bat
and faced many balls
You've bowled us bouncers and long hops and half-volleys and outswingers
We've got out to them all.
How do we stay in there?
We've run out of clues.
We consider it a challenge to last even a minute
against any ball that moves.
And he's gone . . he's gone . . he's gone . . . .
We were the champions my friends,
We'll keep reminding, and pretend
That we are still champions
Yeah, we are still champions
No time for practice
So let's just be champions
Of yesteryears
