The Victor by C. W. Longenecker

 

 

 

 

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you like to win but think you can't,

It's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.

For out in the world we find

Success begins with a fellow's will.

It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are out classed, you are.

You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to be sure of your-self before

You can ever win the prize.

Life's battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster man.

But sooner or later, the man who wins

Is the man who thinks he can.

 

Think Claude should read this to the boys just before they walk onto the pitch! Sunday is our day of destiny and we need to believe.....

If it's a good sporting poem you're after, I prefer "American Football" by Harold Pinter:

 

 

Hallelullah!

It works.

We blew the **** out of them.

We blew the **** right back up their

own ass

And out their ****ing ears.

It works.

We blew the **** out of them.

They suffocated in their own ****!

Hallelujah.

Praise the Lord for all good things.

We blew them into ****ing ****.

They are eating it.

Praise the Lord for all good things.

We blew their balls into shards of

dust,

Into shards of ****ing dust.

We did it.

Now I want you to come over here

and kiss me on the mouth.

That trumps the one I was going to suggest...

 

 

Agadoo by Francois Pierre Camille Bernheim, Michel Eugene Delancray and Mya-Micheline-Helyett Simille

 

 

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee

To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees

Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

 

I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki

Where she was selling pineapple playing ukulele

And when I went to the girl come on and teach me to sway

She laughed and whispered to me yes come tonight to the bay

The lovely beach and the sky

The moon of Hawaii

The rum calypso sarong

We'll all be singing this song

 

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee

To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees

Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

 

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee

To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees

Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

 

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee

To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees

Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

 

Then down on the shore

They gather romance

She showed me much more

Not only to dance

 

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee

To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees

Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

 

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee

To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees

Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

 

The lovely beach and the sky

The moon of Hawaii

The rum calypso sarong

We'll all be singing this song

 

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee

To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees

Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

 

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee

To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees

Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

 

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee

To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees

Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody
