24 Years (Webb Ellis)- A parody of Living Next Door To Alice
        Heimlich Manouvre in the Park
      Arrangement- Seth

 (WARNING- slight coarse language)
  A
 Helen Clark called, when she got the word,
  D
 And she said,'I suppose you've heard',
  E           A
 About Webb Ellis,
 
 A
 We pulled a few strings,
 
 And put forward our case,
 D
 You should've seen the look on Trevor Mellard's face,
           E              A
 When the IRB said, Webb Ellis is yours,



 Chorus: 

 
   A
 Oh, I don't know how we did it,

 It should've been Japan,
  D
 I guess they have their reasons but I just don't give a damn,
            E
 'Cause for 24 years,
                                             A
 We've been trying to get our hands on Webb Ellis,


  A
 Ellis, where the f**k's Webb Ellis?


   A
 24 years, waiting for the chance,
  D
 We're thrashing everbody the we go and lose to France,
  E
 Now we're strolling back home, 
                                     A
 We'll surely get our hands on Webb Ellis,


  A                 
 In '91, we went down in a heap,
  D
 We tried to come easy,
 E 
 But that fail's a creep!
           A
 Oh, Webb Ellis was gone


 A       
 In '95, we saw Jonah smash Kat,
  D
 But a burger from Susie put an end to all that,
 E
 And a kick from Joe Stranskty,
            D
 Took Webb Ellis away,



 Chorus:

 
  A
 Now, I know we may sound manic,

 And really quite a bore,
          D
 But the pain of always failing's just as bad as bruise and sore,
         E                                                 A
 For 24 years, we've been trying to get our hands on Webb Ellis,


  A
 Ellis, where the f**k's Webb Ellis?


  A 
 24 years, waiting for the chance,
  D
 We're thrashing everybody then we go and lose to France,
              E
 Now we're strolling back home,
                                     D
 We'll surely get our hands on Webb Ellis,


  A
 In '99 we got a few bad calls,
  D
 Then the frogs got hold of our balls,
   E
 Ahahahaha! Au revoir, Webb Ellis


  A
 '03 in Australia was a bit of a shock,
        D
 When Carlos passed to that ball git what lock,
              E
 And Georgie said,
  N.C.
 Ya got 4 more years, mate

 

 Chorus:


  A
 And then we had '07,
 
 It turned into a fuss,
   D
 When that blind, phoney bastard didn't see that forward pass,
         E                                     A
 And for 24 years, we still haven't seen Webb Ellis,


  A
 Ellis, where the f**k's Webb Ellis?


  A 
 24 years, waiting for the chance,
  D
 We're thrashing everybody then we go and lose to France,
            E
 Now it's coming back home,
                                      A
 We'll surely get our hands on Webb Ellis,


  A           D                     E                        A
 Now we'll never get used to not getting our hands on Webb Ellis
