Ben Lennon

The Ballad of Ben Lennon (to the tune of the Ballad of John and Yoko)

Got Drafted by the Tigers in '13
I Thought I’d kill it in my first year
The fans they all said
We coulda got Cripps instead
But I’ll be better and more classy than him

Christ playin’ footy ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me

Finally got a game against Geelong
flogging them for most of the game
But they came back in the last
Danny Rioli was fast
But I just stuffed-up every chance that we had

Christ playin’ footy ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me

Tried to get a trade from the Tigers
But nobody seemed very keen
So I wrote a CV
Said I looked good on TV
and a that the thing I brought was real vibrancy

Christ you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way…

This is my favourite John Lennon song. My second favourite John Lennon song is I saw her standing there. Or, in Richmond terms, it could be known as the Ty Vickery song.

As in

So how could I pass to another
When I saw Ty standing there......

I suppose only Hawthorn players will be singing it now.
 
A colleague mentioned he was watching the game against Adelaide last year and was sitting next to Lennons mum and brother, they told my colleague he still had Carlton posters on his bedroom wall at home.

Interesting.

Too lazy to take them down is my guess.

I Saw Her Standing There is a Paul McCartney song
