"THE PARRAMATTA BEER SQUAD"

I'll try to make this my last sporting one for a while,though its not really sporting.its more of a social issue.We hear it the World over,may it be Wayne Rooney getting drunk in England or Tim Smith getting drunk in Sydney.These lads that as youngsters were discovered to be able to kick,or throw a ball about better than most--suddenly become role models.Why? How? The poor sods are put under a spotlight by the media and expected to behave,because youngsters look up to them.Once again How? Why? They are good at what they do,and thats all.
Some of the lads at my Parramatta club have been in trouble lately,what with girls and drinks etc.All the things that young doctors,solicitors and NEWSPAPER REPORTERS do.But we never hear of it do we? We take kids from schools,pay them a whole lot of money,with very little training on how to look after it,and themselves.Then they get a bucket dumped on them when the slip up."It didn't happen in the old day"-----Bullshit,yes it did. I give you "The Parramatta Beer Squad" obviously names such as Tim,Piggy,Hayne,The Guru,Hindy,Nate are all Parramatta players.Chook Raper was an Australian International,way back when players didn't used to get in trouble-----yeah right!.

"THE PARRAMATTA BEER SQUAD"

"WE DON'T WAVE SILLY POM-POMS,
AND WE DON'T WEAR SKIMPY SKIRTS,
WE'RE THE PARRAMATTA BEER SQUAD,
AND WE WEAR FOOTY SHIRTS."

"LINE EM UP" SAID PIGGY
TIM SAID"I'LL HAVE SOME AS WELL,
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN TRAINING,
AH,BUT WHAT THE HELL?
WE ALL PLAYED SHOCKING LAST WEEK,
ANOTHER BLOODY LOSS,
BUT HALF THE BOYS ARE MOVING ON,
AND WE DON'T GIVE A TOSS."

BRING THE BOYS HOME HINDY,
THEY'VE BEEN ON THE GROG ALL NIGHT,
HAYNE'S BEEN BITING SHEILAS
AND NATE PUNCHED OUT THE LIGHT.
"HEY BOYS,WHERE'S THE GURU?"
THE BLUES SELECTORS SAID.
"HE'S HOME ALONE,CAN'T HEAR THE PHONE,
AND STILL IN BLOODY BED."

OF COURSE THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN,
THEY SAY,IN YEARS GONE BY.
"ALL WE DID WAS WORK AND TRAIN,
AND TRY,AND TRY,AND TRY."
BUT,I DON'T THINK IT WAS DRINKING MILK,
IT MUST HAVE BEEN MORE THAN THAT,
THAT LEFT CHOOK RAPER NAKED,
EXCEPT,THATS FOR HIS HAT.

BUT,WE DON'T WAVE SILLY POM-POMS,
AND WE DON'T WEAR FRILLY SKIRTS,
WE'RE THE PARRAMATTA BEER SQUAD,
AND WE WEAR FOOTY SHIRTS.
