The Lyrics

When a sports star breaks his leg, everyone assumes he did it whilst playing his or her particular sport. This guy, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky...
Ooh, the score was thirty-nine to two
My team the Sharks had done real good
The coach did his spiel, while pacing the floor
He's glad that this time I hadn't caused too much gore
But what should happen next? The coach tripped
It was more than a pants rip
Can't believe that

I broke it during half-time
'Stead of whilst scoring on the goal line
D'oh! I broke it during half-time
Oh, my pride isn't really feelin' fine
How embarassing...

(Broke it during half-time 'stead of tackling any of the scorers)

Ow! Ow! Ow!

I know a man ain't supposed to cry
Footy play'rs can't be sissified
Loss of game is now a guarantee
'Cause I'm the best in the team
But what feels worst, ain't my shin
No, my pride is broken
Why did

I break it during half-time?
And now the glory will not be mine
Could've broken it at the time
After tackling the big number 9
Humiliating...

(Broke it during half-time, now the other guys will all laugh at me)

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

People say I'm weak, when they hear the news
Hey, do you think I should move
Away and join another team?
Do my team a favour, see?
No more damaging their cred
So their cheeks will all stop turning red
All because

I broke it during half-time
Crowd won't see me past the goal line
Because I broke it during half-time
So I'll leave - would you call that a crime?
So embarassing...

(Broke it during half-time, now I'm gonna have to leave the city)

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Such a moron, I know

(Broke it during half-time, when should've done it as a tackle)

Could've moved out the way

I broke it during half-time
I hope I got that last bit right...

I'll be casting some votes your direction - see me at half time and I'll sign your cast. Nice effort and since no one has commented and provided you with feed back I'm going to sign that cast of yours five times. Nice effort. Best line: "Footy play'rs can't be sissified" I see potential. Anyone care to look at this and comment?

I don' know... It's right there... but it's not as good as it could be... I sang it with five or six changes on the read thru. Still, I gave ya 3-5"s I usually wouldn't comment if I have negs, But Guy insisted

OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW! I tripped and fell and hit my head on my console stereo before I wrote this comment, so I get the pain thing. I'll sign your cast with 3 5s.

Rhyme scheme seemed a tad off, but it was still a pretty funny parody, and trust me that would be embrassing enough in public, but during the middle of a game. That just has to suck.

(dec2.3) nice work bobpie, and I sympathise - it's a bit like dislocating your knee whilst standing in the ski-lift queue - 555

(DEC 2.3) Great fun, bobpie...unless you happen to be the athlete in question. 555

Decathlon...I would have liked to have heard that a couple of Utah's Runnin' Utes had broken their legs during halftime this weekend. I wouldn't have felt bad for them at all.

Oh...but about this...sorry! A little rant. I tend to do that sometimes. This was lots of fun...I liked it!

(Dec) I just wonder what got broke ??? But that doesn't detract from the quality parody here.

Ag - I think it was his shin... but I was thinking something else, too, from the sound of it :-)
Jack Wilson - November 13, 2007 - Report this comment
This was awesome, and HILARIOUS, 5s
Jeff Reuben - November 13, 2007 - Report this comment
I was thinking something else as well, which added a little something sour (in a good way) to the parody :)

(Dec2) You were a bit lax on the rhyme scheme buddy, decent pacing--but still good.

DEC2- I agree about the rhyming, but it was still a relly good job, Conqueror.
