Swanny Super Over (Graeme Swann)
(to the tune of Champagne Supernova)
How many special people came
So many flights we had to change
Where were you when we were in Chennai?
Got hit for four with his first ball
Then took Gambhir and the Wall
Where were you when we were in Chennai?
Some day you will find him
Taking loads of wickets
In a Swanny super over in Chennai
Some day you will find him
Taking loads of wickets
In a Swanny super over, a Swanny super over
Because we all believe
That he's gonna take a wicket a ball
But you and I, will never die
And Graeme Swann is just one reason why, why, why, why...
