Is this the real life?
Is this Jo's fantasy
Of a bench clearance?
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to Trumbley and see
We're just a poor team, we need no sympathy
Because we're easy win, easy lose,
Easy points? If we snooze,
Any way the match goes, it really really matters to me,
To me

Trumbley just tripped a man,
Put a stick against his knees,
Did the ref see - say no please.
Alex, game's just begun,
We don't mind scoring straight away
Alex ooo,
Didn't mean to let that through
If we're two down by the first interval
Carry on carry on, this game really matters.

Too late, the ref has seen,
His arms above his head
For early bath and bed?
Goodbye everybody - Rob's got to go
Gotta leave them on the ice, sit in the bin
Alex oooh (any way the game goes)
We don't want to lose,
We sometimes wish Jacob'd been born sooner.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Is it Jigs? Is it Digs? Will they score through the five hole?
Hefty checks and slashing, someone took a bashing ouch!
Was it legal? Was it legal?
Was it legal? Was it legal?
Was it legal? Yes it was - how annoying...
But were just a poor team, we want to beat you
They're just a poor team but if you let them they'll eat you
Give them the points from these playoff finals
Easy win hard to lose - will you give us points?
You're joking! No-,we will not give you points - give us points!
You're joking! We will not give you points - give us points!
You're joking! We will not give you points - give us points!
Will not give you points - give us points!
Will not give you points - give us points!
No no no no oh okay
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia we've got points!
Nicky Chinn has a pie put aside for me,for me,for me

So they think they can play us and take all the gold?
So they think they can play hard and we'll go back to Cobras of old?
Oh no way - Riverkings gonna win the day
Just gotta win - just gotta win all our games.

Fighting really matters,
Anyone can see,
Scoring really matters - cheering really matters to me,

Any way the game goes....
