and we....
felt all was going to plan that first innings at Old Trafford, then

have got past me.....it was

CHORUS :

Jiggery Pokery trickery jokery how
did he open me up?
Robbery muggery Aussie skullduggery what in the buggery
F**K.

What a delivery? I might as well have been holding a cob of
corn.
Jiggery pokery who was this nobody making me look so forlorn.....
