Leather Gloves In The Caribbean
Chorus -
Spot the leather gloves in the Caribbean
Spot the leather gloves in the Caribbean
Spot the leather gloves in the Caribbean
Spot the leather gloves in the Caribbean
Among the psalm trees and the nonchalant breeze
The Duckworth Lewis Method is applied
and among the psalm trees and the ill ease
Extreme pressure to the windpipe is applied
I don't like Cricket I hate the pomposity
I don't like Cricket I hate the fact the weather always wins
Chorus
Richie Benaud's cyanide lays in the commentary tower
as it's no longer whiter than white now it's a rainbow shower
and behind you distracted by the sound of leather on willow
are the muffled cries of a man being smothered by a pillow
I don't like Cricket Nigel's and Tarquins standing in a field
I don't like Cricket curse that no man's land the Weald forevermore
A googley for Percy
A googley for Percy
A googley for Percy
A googley, fast under arm (x2)
Chorus
Not a Dickie Bird in the gleaming white corridors
heard moccasins squeaking out of turn on the marble floors
Sly Panama glance with Chinos up to the nipples
all swimming in the face of a hundred, not out, Viv Richards cocktails
I don't like Cricket I'd rather die than ever wear white trousers
I don't like Cricket I'd rather lose to the Irish than wear white trousers
A googley for Percy
A googley for Percy
A googley for Percy
A googley, fast under arm (x2)
